Well i don't have any bad news to report, I mowed the lawn yesterday, it had even more power and was faster. Today after work I came home and looked real good and can't see any signs on any oil leaking. So maybe I got lucky and fixed it but I'm still holding my breath. I wont really know until I use it a few times to know for sure but I am very happy at the current results. Thank you so much Rivets for all your help and I will keep you posted.
