Ford YT16 with 16HP B&S

Inno · Aug 15, 2011

It is an opposed twin B&S engine. It runs really well but it has an oil leak that I have not been able to pin point. I think I might have to take the engine out of the tractor to get a good look at it as there are a lot of covers and the exhaust takes up a lot of room. Are there any common seals or gaskets that might leak oil on the 16HP B&S?

The most common leak points are sump gasket(oil pan)breather valve gasket or a stuck open/leaking seat in breather valve,valve cover gasket on opposite cyl,O ring on dipstick tube,crankcase cover gasket,other possible leak points,leaking head gasket or a crack in sump(oil pan) in area of mounting ears.

Judging by the look of the engine it is probably a combination of a few of these.
I will start looking more closely when I have a chance. Otherwise seems like a good and pretty powerful engine.
