oil is being pulled from valve cover to air filter - 63525c2e-e749-4a53-8402-d0463bb6c753.jpgThat sounds like the reed valve sticking or dirty.
You will need to take out the reed valve, clean and re-install. Be aware that a small amount of oil is common, also do not over fill the oil. The full mark is hot. Too much oil in the crakcase can build up pressure and keep the reed valve open.

Onan 4000 Microquiet shuts down after running for 20-30 minutes. If I direct 2 high power (400+ CFM) fans to the underside of it -it will keep running indefinitely.

check the current draw from the machine
being a 4000 watt machine if you are drawing 4000 watts it is overloaded as that is the surge power available not constant power which is around 3500 watts
that would account for the requirement of fans to keep it cool
even if It is not 4000 watt what ever capacity it is it is running in an overload situation

Onan generator microquiet 4000

Check the pickup tube in the vehicle, the fuel pump is suspect. If you check the fuel pump pressure and it is ok, then try installing a test check valve between the fuel delivery hose to the generator. If it solves the problem the pump is losing it's prime internally, so replace the fuel pump.
