Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Breather blow by

[CKibler]

It seems very strange to me that I just changed my thermostat because engine wasn't warming up. Now that I get it to run at opperating temp my breather is dripping oil. Can a hot engine cause this or do I have to look for problems? Thanks

prob residual condensation,how bad?

Thanks for the reply. I just noticed it today. Has left a big spot in the driveway and also looked under the truck and noticed it has been dripping on the front of the motor and running down. I wouldn't say its too bad but it just makes me wonder why this just started to drip this bad as soon as I changed it.

You probably had condensation built up in the oil from running cold. Now the proper heat is driving it out.
