Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Yardman Snow Blower


Question
I have a yardman snow blower that is two years old and used less than 10 times, it is leaking oil from somewhere.  It runs down onto the flywheel and does not move.  I fill it up and it runs out fast, it is not burning any of this oil.  I assume there must be a gasket that I need to replace or some of more serious issue.  It starts and runs fine but flies through the oil.

Answer
IS the engine and OHV design?  If so, is the valve cover leaking?  

If the head gasket was leaking that bad the engine would not run at all.

Is the main oil seal leaking?

What brand of engine do you have?  What is the engine model, type and code numbers?

Let me know.
