I have a 24hp Yanmar 360 hrs used 200ml oil in 5hrs of operation.
50 hrs ago had the rear main seal replaced, leaking.
Since then it is using the oil not leaking.
There is oil blowing out the dipstick which points me to crank case pressure, and pcv valve not working properly.
The pcv in this model has a diaphragm and spring mechanism in the valve cover which opens to let pressure out into the inlet manifold.
The last 5 hrs use it didn't use any oil. Which tells me its not rings.
I've taken it to the John Deere dealer only to be told yep there's no oil leak and they didn't inspect the valve. Wtf?
"Oh we didn't have a gasket"
"We don't know"
Any clues for me plz?
I'll be checking the valve myself as soon as I get time.
