315-8 oil leak

Recommended Posts

I pulled the valve cover with RTV and I'm still leaking oil everywhere.  Any suggestions on what to check.

Oil is not overfull?

Have you looked at the crankcase breather?

I was reading about crankcase breather.  Where is it located?

The breather is a small reed under the valve cover. From the valve cover is a hose that goes to the back side of the air cleaner. When I got my 315-8 a few years ago it had blown out a pto-side crank seal because the hose going from the valve cover was somehow plugged.
