Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): craftman mower 6.5, craftman, oil cap


Question
craftman 6.5 mower is spilling oil out of it whar would cause this?

Answer
Tammy:

Where is the oil "spilling" from?  IS the oil cap securely attached?  Sometimes if you overfill the engine oil has a tendency to leak out.  This engine only takes about 3/4 quart of oil.  Its not filled to the top of an extended fill dipstick is it?

Please check these things and get back to me with more specific information please.

Have a great day!
