Hello Greg:

Sorry for the Delay. This Question was Located in the Question Pool. The 143.015007 is a Good Tecumseh Number. 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. Then Select your Model and Download the File for Online Viewing. Since this is a Tecumseh Engine, I have 2 PDF Site Addys that May Assist you Also. They are; 1- http://www.tecumsehpower.com/CustomerService/BSI.pdf and 2- http://www.cpdonline.com/692509.pdf Can you Explain where the Oil is Coming from, Please. Wash the Engine. Operate the Engine and Pay Close Attention to Where you See the Oil Leaking. Is the Crankshaft Bent? Send me the Model Numbers Off the Snow Blower, Please. With these I can Locate the Proper Manual and Better Assist you. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck

Respectfully
