Where does the oil puke out Ron ?
Is he using the recirculating bottle ?
Ron, I don't know anything about Neil's design but this certainly sounds like an expansion tank like we have on our cars cooling system. If that is the case then the oil isn't necessarily foaming or 'puking' but just expanding from heat.When the engine is running, oil seems to foam up in the gearbox and expand. It comes up out of the gearbox through a hose into a small plastic catch tank. Then once you shut off the engine, the oil seeps back into the gearbox. Seems like a poor design that the oil can't stay in the gearbox without half the volume needing to be puked out into a tank till you shut down the engine.
