small amount of oil in engine breather
 

I took off the plate for the breather to find a small amount of oil saturating the bottom of it. Not sure if there should be any oil in there. The engine does not smoke or anything. The motor is a K301, I am also trying to take off the fan shroud without removing the motor. I am finally getting the cub tore down pretty good with little resistance. I just want to get this motor in shape before spring. Thanks for any help

:bigthink:Normal

Oil in the breather is normal, you will have to pull the engine to remove the shroud.

See, I figured that she had to come out. I don't think I can let that go. That cooling fan is probably nasty and needs cleaned. At least the oil in the breather is normal though. Thanks yall for the help.
