Default kohler engine problem

I have a Kohler 19hp Courage on a toro Z4200 and I am facing a problem with
a crack on the housing and oil is leaking out from the top. My son said that
it was a crankcase vent problem. Would this have something to do with the
breather tube. Please advise me on what I should check. I don't have a gas
issue. Motor starts and runs fine BUT after a while the oil is down to empty.

Crack in the housing? Doesn't sound good. Post a picture somewhere.

I assume you want the undercabinet light to be independent of overhead light.

You can add a small 120v (coil) SPDT relay to create an always hot wire. It
would draw a small amount of power when it's in the close position but save
you the need to run another wire in the wall to the switch.

The con: it's going to make a click sound every time either of the 3 way
switch is flicked.

Please check your local code before doing this.
