Why my Craftsman 6.5hp lawn mower has oil leaking out of it?
I noticed a pool of engine oil dripping out into the base of the lawn mower. I shut off the mower and found out the filter was drenched in motor oil.
I have a tecumshe engine on a mower and it has the wrong dip stick. If you fill it to the full mark on the stick it is way over filled. Was the mower smoking before you shut it off? Was the air filter itself soaked in oil or the air box? The oil could be leaking from a gasket.
