Re: Oil leaking from new Tecumseh 11.5 hp OHV

The more I look at the leak I think it is a bad head gasket.  The machine might have 15 hours of use on it.  I bought it at Home Depot Canada and they contract out their repairs to local repair shops.  After having 5 major snow storms in the last week and a half with approximately 100 centerimeters in total (40 inches) I can't take a chance of bringing it to a shop to have it looked at because it might be there two weeks or more and we have more snow forcasted for later this week.  A friend of mine has a snowblower which he purchased at Sears which needs repairs and there is a two week waiting period before it can be looked at.  I'll just keep checking the oil every time I use it.  My snowblower is a Ariens Model #1128LE.  I will make some phone calls to Ariens, Tecumseh, or Home Depot when the snow lets up and will keep you posted.

Regards,
Eastern Canada
