<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>
