Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Tecumseh ohv12 riding lawn mower engine, replacing head gasket, crankshaft seal

Question
Troubleshooting for oil leak.
Fixed oil one leak at valve cover...
Fixed another oil leak at cylinder head by replacing head gasket..
but still spatters oil while engine running behind the head from bottom of cylinder area...
Please advise.
Thank you.


Answer
 Hello M:

 Have you Checked the Lower Crankshaft Seal for Leakage? If the Two Gaskets you Replaced are not Leaking, it Could be the Lower Crankshaft Seal Slinging the Oil from the Crankshaft and the Oil is Coming out Between the Engine and Frame. Hope this Helps. Let me know what Happens, Please.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
