Yep that's right the gap is .02

Toro 30" Timemaster 223cc B&S 21199. Almost brand new with about 20 hours on it. Always starts on 2nd pull when cold. When hot, it takes 6-8 pulls and sometimes gives a puff of smoke when it starts. I checked the air filter - looks fine. I took out the plug, it had some black soot and was...

Thanks for your reply. The dripping fluid appears oily. It is wet and shiny and slick. If it was just gas it would evaporate. I can't really detect a smell but I can't say that it smells like gas.

Thanks bertsmobile. 1) The seal on the bottom of the air filter appears good and is dry. The air filter is dry. The air filter housing is dry. 2) Toro provided a 18 oz bottle of oil, (photo attached). Presumably that's what they intend to go into the motor. Motor oil capacity is 18oz. Yes I...

Oil capacity is 18 oz. Toro provided an 18 oz. bottle of oil, that's what I put in. I did check the oil level at the beginning, and it is still just over the top mark. I plan to do the recommended 5 hour oil change this weekend.

Thanks bertsmobile for your response. I never touched the air filter housing until today when I took it off to take the pictures. I put the one bottle of Toro oil in the lawnmower that Toro provided in the crate with the lawnmower, so I did not overfill it. I used fresh fuel the several...

Here's 2 more photos, one from the right, and another closeup with a red arrow showing where I think it is leaking.

Are you serious? Could that even be possible on a brand new motor? I'll take the damn thing back if there is gas in the oil. Hard to smell it though everything smells like grass and oil.

I had it wiped off (it was a larger oily area) and today it leaked again from directly above, click the picture and you can see where I put the red arrow. There seems to be a gasket there that is slightly wet.

One month old, Model 21199 30" Toro Timemaster with 223cc Briggs & Stratton. Leaking what appears to be oil, but could be gas, as indicated on attached photo. Anyone else have this problem with this gasket? I know I should have it repaired under warranty but I bought it at Home Depot so I...

I bought a Honda HRX217VKA about 3 or 4 years ago. The motor started leaking oil onto the deck from the beginning. Last fall I took it back to the dealer and they made some repair under warranty. We will see if it still leaks this spring. To answer your question, this was my second Honda...

I have a HRX217VKA with GCV190 purchased in 2016. There is a fuzzy oily dusty substance spreading across the front of the mower deck which I suspect is oil leaking from the motor. It started shortly after I bought the mower and keeps getting worse. I have changed oil 2x/year using Honda oil...
