It's possible that your leak is from the Governor shaft but I doubt it. The CH has a couple more likely sources of leaks. 1st on my list is valve covers, then head gaskets and then crank seals. The 1864 I picked up a few months ago was doing the same thing as yours is. 2 leaking valve covers and the flywheel end crank seal. The blower is great at blowing the oil onto the muffler. Makes bad smoke LOL. I strongly suggest that you download the service manual from Kohler. If you have not pulled the engine, removed the tins and cleaned it this is what you may find.
