Oil leaking out of the governor

Well this explains it.  I should have known.  I didn't do this but a professional engine rebuilder did.  I think he was rushing or just made a mistake.

Details...They're important. Fortunately that one doesn't really hurt anything.

9 outta 10 times when oil is being pushed out of the governor on a Kohler, it's the breather. Excessive blow by can also cause high case pressure.

I haven't been into a K series breather yet.  I'm assuming that the breather has not been assembled correctly?  What does a properly assembeled breather look like?

The above looks fine except for the small oil drain hole. That belongs at the bottom to allow oil to drain back into the block.

That makes sense.   Thanks.
