new 2wgx7 speedaire excessive oil out of the crankcase breather

I have a new 2wgx7 speedaire pump and in place of the dip stick they supplied a crankcase breather. It spits a lot of oil out. Any idea's? No there is not to much oil in there. Less then 20 hours on pump.

My first thought was overfill and you've already dealt with that, Gary.

Did it always do this, or is the oil issue just starting?

If always, and it's not overfilled, could be a design issue. Could be air bleeding into the sump from a gasket.

Regardless, if design issue or failure, it's still under warranty, and it were me, I'd take it back and get a new one.

If the same thing happens again, take the newer one back to, and buy another model.

Cheers,

Bill
