Thanks for letting me join

I am a residential builder in western Va and West Virginia. I have been using my 506B to frame houses for years and just replaced it with a 2015 507-42. I’m hoping to sort out some of the problems with the 506B and use it as a spare. I’m packing the worst cylinders, after learning the hard way about the dowel in the gland nut, oops. It’s been a while since the problem I want to address has happened because we just stopped driving it any distance from job to job. If memory serves me correctly if you run it any distance at full speed the engine crankcase overfills with, I assume, hydraulic or transmission oil. Any ideas on where this could happen and things to look for would be greatly appreciated, Thanks again for any help offered! Joey
