Answer
Hello Susan:

According to the DOM and the Serial Numbers, this Unit is Just Past the Warranty Period and is No Longer Under Warranty. Usually the Warranty Period is 1 Year for the Mower and 2 Years for the Engine. Where is the Oil Leak? Is it Under the Engine or Around the Air Filter? Is the Oil Pooling Around the Base of the Engine or is the Oil coming Out of the Muffler? Thanks.
