My Tecumseh 6.5 OHV engine is leaking oil. It appears to be leaking from the governor shaft as the governor always has a drip of oil on it. The vent hose from the valve cover goes to the carb and there is no oil in the carb or around the valve cover. I will check the hose for airflow. Any other Ideas?

Your needle valve is not the only thing that would cause this. Have you checked your float? Make sure it moves up and down properly, I would take the float off and shake it near your ear. If you here a liquid swwoshing sound in it, then you need a new float!
