Oil leak DF 70

[Claude Moreau]

Aloha from Maui Hawaii. I have a DF 70 with about 1200 hrs. on it. It starts up and runs well, with plenty of power. It has been leaking motor oil down from the motor into the leg area for a while. The leak has gotten bigger. The last time out it leaked about a half quart over 10 hours of running time. Does anyone know where the leak may be coming from, and how to fix it?

Thank you.

May have to remove engine and check lower engine and oil pump seals. check oil pan gaskets.

probably the best thing to do is to take off any covers, clean the motor, then run it on the flushers and see if you can locate where it is coming from.
