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

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>

<blockquote type="cite"> 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>
