Bill D 1,577 #1 Posted November 15, 2018 Hi All, I started my P216 today and promptly sprung a massive oil leak from around oil filter area. I haven't taken the cover off the engine yet to see what went wrong. Anyone else have something like this happen to them? I am thinking about selling the whole tractor as I don't have the time to deal with it right now, and I have three other tractors anyways. Thanks for the the help.

Achto 26,199 #2 Posted November 15, 2018 I would check to see if the gasket on the oil filter failed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt-NEPA 755 #3 Posted November 15, 2018 I'm with Achto, check the oil filter housing gasket. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMan 82 #4 Posted November 19, 2018 Bill, The gasket behind the oil filter adapter bracket generally fails gradually although it needs to be checked. An "all of a sudden" massive leak demands that the oil pressure sending unit be examined. They screw into the oil filter adapter bracket. When they fail it is generally a crack in the plastic they are made from. Just a thought...............Gary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
