oil in my airbox

[07apexowner]

Ive got an 07 apex mountain and im getting alot of oil forcing up through the breather tube into the airbox, ive been told about adding too much oil but that isnt the problem, it pukes out oil until the indicator light comes on on the dash and thats within about 10 min of running any thoughts???

Have you recently had the airbox out? If so, I'd look to see if the tubes connected near the bottom have been reversed. This can cause the problem described.

is there a schematic anywhere with the proper routing of those hoses that can be downloaded?

 

[Soldier'spapa]

I can't come up with one for you at the moment. From my recollection there are pretty much only two hoses that can easily be reversed, so if it were mine, I'd switch them, clean the box, fill the oil and give it a try.

HTH

thanks for your help, there are two hoses under the airbox but they were hooked up the only way that they can be, one comes from the engine and the other comes from above the throttle bodies and the hoses wouldnt bend around to get crossed. ill keep looking

Sounds like piston blow-by, which could be caused by a stuck ring. Try some seafoam. Did this just start all of a sudden?
