I'm having trouble with oil leaking from my TS gator. I thought it initially was just from changing the oil, but appears to be coming down the back of the cylinder---at least I can see oil up higher than the drain plug. So is this likely coming from the OHV cover and is that an easy fix?
As some background on this machine, I did have trouble with an oil leak last fall when my son was taking up and down steep hills. Apparently the rubber oil plug at the bottom of the engine had come out and when it went up a steep hill, oil leaked out. I do not know if this could be related to my current oil leak, but I have always wondered how that oil plug came out in the first place (it is the non-threaded kind)
TIA for any help/insight
