Problem with Scag Tiger Cub engine.

[Paul in NY]

Hi Guys.
My mower has a Briggs & Stratton 24hp model series 446677 type 0127B1 engine.
It has started leaking oil from the back of the engine, dropping it in the muffler. When I first start the engine all appears fine but after 15 minutes or so the leaking starts. I replaced the oil filter & made sure it was not the cause of the leaks. Not sure what to do next. Any advise would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Oil can come from engine block gasket , head gasket or even valve cover gasket - get out the bright light and follow the drip path .

Hi SONOFADOCKER.
Thank you, I will. I guess it has to be a gasket, one way or the other?
