I have a JD LX172 which developed an oil leak somewhere under the
engine. It seemed to start after an oil/filter change. I have checked
for the obvious places. Is there a seal on the underside of the engine?

Thanks


This is the inexpensive verticle shaft isn't it ? If yes, there is a seal
under there and it sounds like you blew it out maybe overfilling it with
oil.
