I have a L100 John Deere that is leaking oil.. the oil is milky looking.. tractor's only a year old or so.. what can this be? Is there any way I can fix this myself? :confused:

Where is the oil leaking from?

I'm not real sure.. it's dripping by the fuel filter down onto the mower deck.. I was mowing a steep hill & the tractor couldn't make it up the hill then started smoking so I shut it off.. looked down & saw the oil.. checked oil & it was low & looked like coffe with creamer.. LOL.. I was told to change out oil & buy some Rislone.. not sure if that will help.. I really don't know anything about lawn mowers.. lol

Change oil and do not add anything but oil. Clean area very good and run engine to see where oil is coming from. Post back with results and I can tell you problem and how to fix. First you need to see where it is leaking from.
