Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): 6hp Techumseh oil leak, crankcase pressure, crankcase breather

Question
QUESTION: After servicing my tiller with a 6hp Tecumseh motor I noticed an oil leak coming from what I think is the governor linkage. It's located behind the cylinder jug and coming from a small pin sticking up through the motor block with a snap ring holding it in place. The pin is flattened on the top where linkage is attached that goes to the carb. The oil leaks after the motor is running for less than 1 min and is coming out of where this pin goes
down through the block where the snap ring.
On the plaque I found:
H60  75572V  (B)
DOM  6060D
If you have any questions or need any more information just let me know, thanks for your time,

ANSWER: Hello Ed:

Have you Cleaned the Crankcase Breather? If the Engine Crankcase Pressure is too High, then it will Push Oil Out Around the Governor Shaft. If the Crankcase Breather is Clean and Operating Properly, then the Governor Shaft May be Worn and Require Replacing. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of this Engine at this Site Addy, http://www.outdoordistributors.com/ and Select the T. Then Select Tecumseh. Then Select Don't have Part Numbers. Then Enter the Model Numbers (H60-75572V). Then Select your Model and Download the File for Online Viewing. The Governor Shaft is Listed as #80 on the Breakdown. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck

QUESTION: Thanks for all the great information, but I'm not sure where  to look for the crankcase breather. Sounds like I should be hoping that it's needs cleaned.
Again Thanks!

Answer
Hello Again Ed:

The Crankcase Breather is Usually Behind the Carburetor. Follow the Breather Hose from the Carburetor to the Crankcase Breather/Vent. If you are Using the Breakdown I Refered you to, then the Crankcase Breather is #s 169 thru 174A. If the Breather is Clean and Operating Properyl, then Replace the Governor Shaft, # 80. I May be Worn and Requires Replacing. You can Use the Breakdown to Assist you in the Dis Aeeembly and Re-Assembly of the Engine if you have to Replace the Governor Shaft. Usually the Crankcase Breather is the Cause. I'll Keep my Fingers Crossed. lol. I can Answer Any Questions you May have. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck
