Lawn Tractor oil leak
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 |

If yes, there is a seal under there and it sounds like you blew it out maybe overfilling it with oil. |

Is there a seal on the underside of the engine? Thanks When the seals are changed out, have them measure the bore for roundness. I had a seal go in a cold state a couple of weeks ago, and all of the oil ended up on the floor of my garage. It was not overfilled either. I had the same seal replaced about two years ago. It could be that the bore is elongated also. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
