Generator Won't Start
Brand New 2013 Newmar Bay Star Sport 3310 . Hasn't really been out on the road yet except for my wife and I driving it back to Texas from California. Anyway, had no need to use the Cummins generator...

The thing with the oil leak, when the genset is running, cooling air is being drawn through & around the engine, so an oil leak could be in one place & showing up somewhere else from the forced air pulling it.
Places it could leak, crankshaft seals or where a sealing gasket is located, part bolted onto the engine.
After dealing with these things for a few years, I believe a lot of times it is the rubber o ring gasket on the oil filter not sealing like it should. There have been a few times after a bit of genset use, once cool I've been able to tighten the oil filter up just a bit. Now that could have been from vibs causing the filter to be loose or either that o ring gasket srinking up, which I dont know, but that is one thing I have found.
If the genset oil pressure sending unit does not sense oil pressure, the control board will shut the engine down.
