RE: [T3] Taking off the Fan Housing

["Iturzaeta , Joseph " <JIturzaeta@kbhome.com>]

Everything is there. The plug is on the top and the hose is connected to
the oil filler pipe. The oil seems to be the wettest near the base of
the breather assembly. Could there be something blocking the breather
box, not letting it breath. I don't remember feeling any air coming out
from the outlet on the box.

Is that "one" plastic plug on top. If so, then you can't have the
problem that 
I was thinking of.

Check your breather box. It should have a pipe that runs straight down
from the 
RR  bottom corner. There will be another pipe coming up from the oil
filler 
pipe, near where it joins the case. There should be a short (~3") piece
of hose 
that joins the two metal pipes. These do not need hose clamps.

There should be a hose that runs ffrom the RR upper corner over to the
air 
cleaner.

Is everything there and connected nicely? Is the box tight on the
breather 
stand?

If all this seems correct, can you describe again where you think you
see the 
most (or the wettest) oil?
