Default quick question.

is it possible to plug up the breather hose that goes from my motor to my air cleaner? i have a 90 limited and oil keeps leaking into my aircleaner. i was just wonder what i should do, if its possible to just plug the hose or not.

thanks

no,you need to vent the motor,if you plug it you will have oil coming out everywhere. There are some write ups on folks installing traps to resolve the issue.
The only way to fix it is to stop the blow-by,the only way i know is to rebuild the motor,you might be able to slow it down with additives like restore or lucas.
