Kubota oil leak

mac62951 · May 12, 2016

I have a Kubota zg23 zero turn 23hp briggs. There is an oil leak coming from the topside of the engine (around the carb?) running down the back of the engine and hitting the exhaust. Carb gasket?

What Briggs do you have on there? I've seen an older Vanguard that had a bad carb and loaded the oil with fuel which overfilled it. That caused oil to blow back up through the air intake and ooze from some of the gaskets.
