This afternoon I was mowing with a Poulan garden tractor, 24hp V2 Briggs engine, 54" deck.
Just as I was about done, oil started spewing off the left side of the engine. Seemed to be coming from around the bottom of the oil filter, but it was too danged hot to even check to see if the filter was tight. I'm assuming it was. Thankfully, I caught it before I ran it low on oil.
Last thing I did was power wash all of the fresh oil and existing crud off of it. Tomorrow after it's cooled off, and dried off from power washing, I guess I'll pull the oil filter and see what I can see.
Is there any kind of known problem on these, other than the filter gasket failing or maybe the filter itself? It has about 500 hours on it.
