 I know this has been covered some time ago. please advise me on this.  I was mowing with a used 4 hp tecumseh mower the other day for the first time. one of the banks was a bit steep. I noticed the oil was coming out and covering the whole deck!  I stopped right away. oil level read about 1/3 low after that.  was level.  what caused this and any preventive ways to stop this?  thanks in advance.      Gene

Geno,
What kind of mower is this engine on?
What are the engine model numbers?

I will get the numbers as soon as I can ( its at the Church) .  it is a sears 4 hp  3n1 mower.  tecumseh motor I think. about a 1990-95 year.  thanks   Gene
