I have a Paslode Wheelbarrow compressor. It has a honda gx200 6.5 hp motor. It is leaking oil from some where. Looks like the bottom of the motor. Below the recoil. Any ideas?
Thanks, Matt

Tighten up the engine case bolts to start with. Sometimes they work themselves lose or the gasket shrinks.
Not sure it would be a problem but check the oil drain plugs and fill plugs.
It might be the crank seal (PTO side or flywheel side) or the sump cover gasket. How bad is the leak? I had one that leaked a little at a time and using Rotella 15w40 pretty much stopped it. I also had a 5hp Briggs with a ton of hours on it that basically poured oil out of the seal.
The crank seal and sump cover gasket aren't difficult to replace, but it requires unbolting the engine from whatever it is mounted to.
