New oil leak
Original Message   Feb 14, 2006 1:53 pm
So, my Husky 8527SBE with a Tec 8.5hp L head seems to have developed another oil leak.   It's no longer the crankshaft vent tube, however, the bottom of the engine (where it bolts to the frame) is layered with oil.   There is enough that it is running down the side of the chassis and leaving a palm sized spot on the garage floor.

I've got maybe 6 hrs on the machine, and I think that it's time to take it in for service.  I have checked the drain tube fittings and they seem tight.   Are there any other gaskets or seals that have been known to leak on this engine (with this few hours)?
