Hi all, if I can trouble you once more, after succesful replacement of impeller and a few other items at the same time, thanks to the help kindly offered from you guys, I fired her up, and she runs sweet, however I noticed a small oil leak weeping from under the engine cover. It's not a new leak, I noticed it last season, but I thought whilst I have the chance to do something about it, but not having the benefit of a service manual (yet), all I can say is the leak appears to be coming from somewhere near to the carburretors. Any offers of a likely cause /repair?

Only thing I can say about any oil, fuel, or water leak of any kind is you MUST clean everything off so it's clean and dry and run it and find where it's coming from.
There are a lot of places it could be coming from, but you can't fix YOUR problem if you can't find it first. And you really don't want to start fixing everything that everyone else has found leaking on their engines.
