ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a blow-by gas reducing device capable of adopting an exhaust pump with a small discharge rate and capable of suppressing oil degradation by reducing the mixing of bubbles in oil. The device includes: an oil pan of an engine; an oil tank; a first communication passage (an oil passage) connecting the oil tank and an oil holding portion of the oil pan; an oil pump (an exhaust pump) being provided in the first communication passage and pressure-feeding oil in the oil holding portion to the oil tank; a second communication passage (a gas passage) connecting the oil tank and a blow-by gas residing portion of the engine; and a gas sending device (a gas mechanism) utilizing a flow force of the oil inside the first communication passage to send blow-by gas in the blow-by gas residing portion to the oil tank via the second communication passage.
