1541 oil leak
What's involved to replace the front oil seal on the Kohler engine on a CC 1541?
I took off my mower deck, and installed the snowblower this afternoon.
I Checked the oil, and the dipstick was dry. Took about 1/2 quart of oil to bring it 1/2 way between the "add" and "full" marks. I only have 2 hrs on it since my last oil change a couple months ago. (mowed the lawn once after changing oil) I found a wet spot on the dirt floor of my garage, under the front of the tractor, and found the front of the engine is wet with oil, behind the PTO clutch.
Can the seal be replaced without taking the engine apart? Is the engine known to have the seal move forward, out of the case? I haven't removed the clutch to see exactly what's going on yet.
thanks much,
Mike
