Oily discharge in generator exhaust

[topmast]

If oil is high enough to splash (foam)lube the cylinder walls, the oil control rings are overwhelmed and excess is being expelled out the exhaust .This must be close to a full runaway due to oll coming in the breather .Suck a little oil out before something nasty happens.

wasn't there a Practical Sailor article where they used ATF in a home-brew "PB Blaster" solvent?

I know ATF mixed about half and half with Acetone is very effective according to practical machinist.

I think ATF is just good oil with a high detergent. Don't know it's sae wt . Used to add some STP additive to the auto tranny to swell up the leaky gaskets.
