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. <br>

<p>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.. <br>

Hi all,<br>
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, <u>except</u> 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. <br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Mike M<br>
