Cold weather tractor problem

   / Cold weather tractor problem #21  
I知 new to the forum, and would like to post a question. I have a 2010 Kubota Grand L5740. It has just over 200 hours on it. I live in Iowa, and it has been very cold lately, sub 0 temps. Today, I pulled the tractor out to clear my driveway, and to move some wood. The tractor started and ran fine, I used it for maybe 20 min, and then parked it. I went back outside a couple hours later, started it, and put it back in the barn. I noticed when I got out, that it had a pretty good amount of oil leaking from underneath. When I got it inside, I crawled underneath, and saw that oil was leaking out of where the dipstick tube enters the case. I also noticed that the oil fill cap had blown off. I went inside to look some stuff up, and went I went back to check in it, it appears that oil is being blown out of my exhaust pipe. I did start it up again, and it started fine, and idled fine. Could it be a frozen pcv valve? Is there even one on this tractor. I知 clueless. Any thoughts or help is appreciated.

if you don't use your tractor a lot and you don't work it too hard. that might be "diesel slobbers" or "wet stacking" that you're observing at the exhaust pipe.
