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.

I would check to see if the gasket on the oil filter failed.

I'm with Achto, check the oil filter housing gasket.

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

It turned out to just be the oil filter gasket.
