When is it a penalty for an O-lineman or blocker to push or aid the player with the ball to gain additional yardage?

No foul for pushing; however, grabbing the runner and pulling or lifting him *IS* a foul

I believe it's Rule 9-3-2

Forgot to add the penalty portion if it is a foul: 5 yds

Back in the early 1900s, some O-linemen had straps sewn to the back of their jerseys for the runner to grab on to.
