Well now is the time to pull the engine lol I have a push mower that works great that I can use while I figure out this leak. Plus I dont need to mow as frequent between Nov-Feb. I got some red high temp RTV as well as Gray and Black. Maybe the red would work best for a small engine?

Well I changed the valve cover gaskets and although it stopped part of the leak while not running, there is still a significant leak after I ran the mower. I took more pictures, but I didn't see anything noticeably wet under the engine, most of the oil was built up around the lower valve cover...

I'd like to just change those out anyway. Mind sharing where you got the parts and if you used a tutorial of some sort?

Yes, I did clean the area first. The frustration is I don't see a drip, but obviously a small puddle forms near the left front tire.

I'm not versed in small engines at all, and I bought a running riding lawnmower that has worked fine but has developed an oil leak. Seems like it's fairly common and could be an easy fix. I am mechanically inclined, just not sure where to start. I took a picture of the leak and have been surfing...

Hello all, I''m curious if the SuperTech 75w90 with GF5 rating is suitable for the rear end of my Titan that specs "Rear differential gear oil - 5 ½ pt/2.6 L - Genuine NISSAN Differential Oil Hypoid Super - CT Synthetic GL-5 75W-90" Looks like the ST stuff would work but I've no idea if...

Hey everyone, I have a relatively recent negative mark on my credit report, but am not sure how to resolve it. Anyone have experience dealing with Charter Communications and/or "Wayresgrp"? I believe this stems from a prior account I had with one of Charter Communications company's, Spectrum...

I'm determined to get a truck by the end of the year myself. Congrats

When I was at Pepboys, I refused to go onto the Snap-On truck until I decided I need a big-bad 1/2 ratchet to my tool cart. It was one of the main tools I consistently borrowed. So I gave in and got a 15 inch 1/2 ratchet from Snap-On. It's probably my favorite hand tool now. Just feels right...

Originally Posted By: JTK OP, what's the size, configuration and weight of the trailer? Aprox total weight? I'm sure a 3/4 ton pickup would be easier on the driver for long hauls (not the wallet), but like said above, even "small" pickups have 6000lb or more towing capacity. Our 2017 Frontier...

Originally Posted By: FordBroncoVWJeta I have heard all of those Hardware stores besides 84 Lumber. I guess they don't exist up here. I have no preference, just who can get me the best deal! There should be in in Lenexa and Kansas City. They cater more to contractors and subcontactors than...

In my pursuit of a career, I was recently hired on as a Manager Trainee for 84 Lumber. Not a spectacular job to start, but as far as I can tell, is a great starting point for someone in my shoes. 1-2 year training, then relocating to manage or co-manage a shop of my own. The last few months I've...

for my 2009 Matrix, I've been using Valvoline MaxLife ATF. Works really well. Dare I say it shifts better than the presumed stock Toyota fluid.

Doing some more research and looks like an early 2000s Chevy 2500hd with a 6.0 crew cab would be suitable. 4.10 gears, 300+hp, easy to maintain, relatively cheap.
