Hi, I've got a Craftman push mower 6.5 hp Briggs and it is leaking oil in the front. It is leaving a puddle on the frame and can't tell where it's coming from. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

If it's not an oil sump gasket ,either not tight, mis-aligned, crimped, broken or torn, the only thing that could be leaking or pumping oil could be coming out of the valve cover on the side. That could also have a bad gasket as well, but normally won't pump out that much oil unless there's a lot of blow by causing it.

If it an OHV engine I would suspect bad valve cover gasket.
