Anybody know what this could be?  I did tip it slightly on it's side to check the blades, but it seems to be coming from the black cover on the front of the deck.  It is a 6.5hp front wheel drive 2004 model with a single speed bevel transmission I believe is what it is called.

Thank you

  run the unit for a grass cutting to burn any extra oil that may have filled the cylinder and muffler..    leave unit running and wash with a garden hose  NOT pressure washer. to clean any oil buildup and debris from base of engine.    leave sit and see if any new oil spot appear on floor or deck

Thank you so you don't think it's a big problem?  The oil is black and the oil inside the engine is clear.  I was worried it was coming from the drive transmission.  I was worried it was coming from the drive-train.

Thanks again this is very much appreciated.  When I bought it a couple of days ago I was told it had only been used 5 times two years ago and had sat since then.  Judgeing by how clean it was I don't doubt it.  Anything else I should consider since it sat so long?  I put fresh gas in and sprayed carb. cleaner in the bowl and carbuerator because float was stuck.

Didn't leak anymore during or after a mow.  Thank you.  :)
