The stock 1600DP in my bus has about 5k on it. Runs great. But,
I notice oil out the draft tube,enough to coat the rear tin and mustache bar, apparently only while running/at speed. Anyone have any input on this? I've never seen anything like it B4
Thanks

Sounds like crank case venting issues. Does not take a lot of oil vapor to make a mess.

sounds like excessive blowby, you need to perform a leakdown test. you might be into a rering or new jugs.
