    Toro Lawnmower Leaking oil - self propelled model 20089
    Hi, old gas was left in my mower from last season and someone used it
    Without emptying it out.It ran fine but then started to shut off in
    Intervals while mowing would have to let it sit for about to 15
    To 20 minutes on end.I assume it was burning off the bad gas but now
    There is a oil leak as I assume because when I start it I see a small
    Trinklet or splash of oil from underneath the metal housing that the
    Shield muffler attaches too.I see this splash every time I crank it.
    It cranks on first turn of the key every time,it sounds fine but then
    After I say a minute I see a whiff of light smoke looks to be
    Light blue then I shut it off.I hear no noticeable noise from the mower
    Except it seem like a light hiccup or something? The air filter
    Also was very dirty so I changed it.Did the old gas bring this
    On? What is this housing called that the oil seem to be coming from and is the motor damage or a seal or gasket is worn and will repair be expensive? Hope it is
    Something I can remedy anyone have an idea? Thanks
