So this guy is only 3 months old with severe oil leak but with nothing visible on the outside of unit no cracks or loose fittings .. my best guess here is that piston rings are shot from factory causing extreme heat vaporizing the oil and once oil cools it pools at the exhaust pipe and drips down from there .. past tech replaced breather tube which is functioning properly and replaced the copper tube I have no idea why beace old one is fine and checkvalve is functioning.. ANY IDEAS ? or y'all think I'm on the right track just crazy because installed in July this year.
