    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.
