[AT] OT - Log splitter engine

[Brian VanDragt]

Yeah, i guess that doesn't explain the oil in the cylinder. It would have to be a serious amount of oil to fill up the cylinder enough to run out of the muffler though. I can't imagine what is going on.

    Thanks Brian, checked out the video, man that would be an easy fix,
    unfortunately my tube is fine.

       I found this video where the oil
        fill tube has a hole in it and leaks oil down to the muffler
        area:

        Hi Brian, not gas, it's slippery and smells like oil, it also
        doesn't evaporate.

           Could it be gas, not oil?  Is
            the gas tank above the head? 
          
            Probably not, now that I think about it more, the whole
            intake manifold would have to fill up with gas and you would
            know it when you try to start it.

            Hi Cecil, This engine has the valves in the block so not an
            OHV situation. What I find interesting is that it continues
            to leak even though it has not been run.

              Sounds like oil getting in from the valve guides if
                this is an overhead valve engine.  Check to see if the
                oil drain hole in the head is plugged.   Might try
                putting an o ring around the exhaust valve above the
                guide..

               Hi all, 
                List seems really slow lately, so I have a question
                about my wood splitter. It's a Huskee 22 ton, with a
                Briggs and Stratton 675, 190cc engine. I noticed the
                other day that it had oil leaking from the bottom. At
                first I assumed it was hydro fluid, but it turned out to
                be engine oil that was leaking from where the muffler is
                bolted to the block. I took the muffler off and cleaned
                the surface, looked for sources for the leak, and found
                none. It still leaked and this is without the engine
                being run for about a week. I snuck a piece of cardboard
                under it, and the leak is still active, muffler area is
                wet again. I checked the oil for overfill, and it is
                fine, air cleaner is fine, but a little dirty. I pulled
                the spark plug and looked in the cylinder, everything
                was OK, except there was a puddle of clean oil
                in the bottom of the cylinder. Any thoughts would be
                appreciated, This splitter is only about 7 years old and
                has maintained well, and housed. 
                
                Best regards, 
                Mike M
