Why is oil coming out of my air box?
It is caused by excessive carbon deposits or engine sludge developing inside the crankcase. When the oil does not flow efficiently, excessive engine oil pressure will be created and cause extra oil to push through the PCV valve and into the air intake.
What causes oil to blow out of the air filter?
Excess oil in the engine can cause the oil to foam and be blown out through the breather which generally feeds into the air filter.
Why is oil showing up in the air box on my golf cart?
If you find oil showing up in the air box on the 295cc and 350cc engines, it is most likely that your oil is overfilled. If you have recently lifted your golf cart the angle of the engine has changed. The new tilt of the motor is enough that the oil level indicated as “FULL” on the dipstick will give a wrong reading.
How to prevent foaming and air trapped in gearbox oil?
Foaming and air retention in the oil are two processes that must be prevented from occurring in turbine gearboxes to achieve optimum performance. There are many causes that lead to the generation of foam and trapped air, but this mainly occurs because of mechanical problems or due to the c ondition of the oil.
What causes oil to have air bubbles in it?
The presence of air bubbles in the fluid can lead to excessive oxidation, cavitation, the reduction of lubricating properties of the oil and hydraulic system failure. The causes of foaming are many. The most common include: Depleted defoamant (possibly due to the use of excessively fine filtration and electrostatic separation technologies)
Why is there oil in my air filter?
An oil saturated air filter or a puddle of oil in your air filter box seems like a strange occurrence by all means considering that its the last thing you would expect to find.

What happens when an air filter is clogged?
When the air filter becomes clogged with debris, it can cause the engine’s fuel efficiency and power output to decrease. If oil is found inside the air filter, it can also significantly impact the engine’s performance.
How can I get Oil out of my engine?
In some cases you may need to flush the engine multiple times to throughly clear all the oil passages and completely solve the problem. Each piston has an oil ring that allows the piston to travel up and down without oil passing the top of the piston and entering the combustion chamber.
