 Is this a Prodrive Oil Leak? Heres a pic of my PD36...Bought new several years ago and noticed this the other day. Low hours under 60....One of the first 50 built around 2006? Is this a chipout from upper block? Motor runs like a top....love it...any help or advice appreciated..thanks......

Re: Is this a Prodrive Oil Leak? Yep. Just keep an eye on it until it starts to do more than seep a little tho.

Re: Is this a Prodrive Oil Leak? There is nothing wrong with your block that is just a machined area in the sump, it is just the case gasket seeping based on your photo.

Re: Is this a Prodrive Oil Leak? it's a briggs oil leak, and not enough of leak to worry about yet.
when it gets worse, have the gasket changed. 99 out of 100 briggs 36 motors leak there, really bad engineering.
