I just bought a chipper/shredder with a 8Hp. Tecumseh engine. It runs good and seems to start OK with barely getting the flywheel moving. the problem I am having is after an hour of run time I noticed oil coming out from the base of the fill tube. I am not sure how much oil came out yet as I ran out of time when cleaning up so It got shoved into a storage spot until I can look at it but I think I lost around a cup of oil. Oil looks clean and it was not over filled when I started. Is it possible that where the tube goes into the motor there is a defective seal or do I have bigger problems. It does not smoke when running.
Thanks for any advise, never had something like this before.
