Hi folks,

The Kohler Magnum 18 on my 1991 Model 1535 blows oil out the crankcase vent into the air cleaner. The engine runs fine, but this doesn't seem right. What is the probable cause? Is this serious? All input is appreciated.

I suspect you need a new breather assembly...that's what happens when they fail, and these engines are notorious for that.
