M274 A5 Oil Leak

[douglr1961]

Good day,
My mule is leaking (pushing out) oil on the top of the engine (above the oil filter, behind the shroud and adjacent to the return line). It's difficult to see exactly where it's coming from.

Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks for any info/assistance,
Randy

It sounds like your leak is coming from the 2 oil lines located on the top of the motor under the metal shrouds. Remove the accelerator cable from the governor and remove the top cover. Remove the remaining metal shroud on the left top side of the motor. It takes some angled screw drivers to remove the sheet metal screws. Under that shroud you will see 2 short oil lines bent wrenches and or crows foot wrenches will be required to tighten them up. Use two wrenches on each fittings to ensure they are tight. Hope this helps.
