 Possible Oil leak on lower muffler crankcase bolt!!! First let me say that I'm no mechanic. I have a 35 briggs hypersport.
Yesterday I discovered some oil leaking from the muffler mounting bracket bolt that bolts to the crankcase. If you are looking at the muffler it would be the lowest bolt on the right side. It's approximately 3 inches long. It's not much but I'm just wondering if this is something to worry about.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Possible Oil leak on lower muffler crankcase bolt!!! its probably the crankcase gasket that is starting to go. It won't hurt anything, just keep an eye on your oil level. If the bolt wont stay tight, use some carb cleaner and spray all the threads real good (bolt and crankcase.) Then use some compressed air to dry it out real good and re tighten the bolt.
