leak

Oil coming out of the carb compartment breather tube. Any suggestions?

Oil accumulating in mower belt pulley above the clutch. Need to try to replace oil seal above the clutch but so far have been unable to loosen the bolt on the shaft beneath the clutch. Dumb question: does this bolt loosen in the universal direction -- counter-clockwise and, as I suspect, does it...

Im new to this forum and DIY repairs. My echo srm225 has run great for years. Finally put in a new carb a couple yrs ago and all well until recently. Now very hard starting and fuel leaking out spark arrestor. The arrestor is very clean? Any ideas? “Another” carb. Any help appreciated.

After replacing the upper shaft seal and breather plate and gasket I thoroughly cleaned the oily mess. After mowing a couple of hours I can see a new oily mess from what appears to be a leak at the governor shaft seal. After watching a couple of YouTube videos it doesn't appear to be a...

I believe the right side axle seal is leaking, onto the drive belt causing it to slip when warm. Is this a easy fix? I'm of the belief, if one is leaking, the other is probably going to start. The right side looks like it might be a easy fix, but the left side, I'm not so sure. Anyone have any...

My father is 81 years old and having some memory/cognitive issues but has unfortunately continued to use his ~20 year old Scag mower. My mother told me that three times he has added oil to the oil filler on the left side (the hydraulic oil reservoir) and she keeps finding a puddle of oil under...

I located an oil leak in my transmission coming from behind the control lever. Looking at the parts diagram there are a couple o-rings behind the control lever and 2 pins that hold the control lever on transmission housing. Any help on how to remove those pins to free the control lever so i...

OK... I noticed that last time I mowed, that the mower was making a kind of clunking sort of noise intermittently. I use earplugs so I can't be more specific more than that. Today, it was doing it again. I tried with and without the front wheel drive power assist, because it SEEMED like it...
