Why does my BUSCH R 5 RA/RC 0010 C fumes or expels oil droplets through the gas discharge?

If your BUSCH Water Pump is fuming or expelling oil droplets, check the exhaust filter's position and correct it if necessary. Ensure the o-ring is present and undamaged; add or replace it if needed. If the exhaust filter is cracked or clogged, replace it. For versions with an oil return valve (RA ... C, 0.5 mbar), shut down the pump regularly for short periods if it runs for more than 2 hours to prevent oil accumulation in the upper chamber of the oil separator. Also, check that the oil return valve functions properly, allowing oil to flow from the upper to the bottom chamber when the pump is shut down.
