I have husqvarna lawn mower with 27hp engine, oil started leaking from behind oil filter. So i was going to mow my yard before i started to work on it.

brew all over me and i was wondering if there is a oil ring or seal behind that filter and if it is fixable without pulling the whole engine and how hard it is to fix Thanks Aug 4, 2017 / Oil leaking from behind oil filter 27hp kohler engine #2
It could simply be that the seal on your oil filter is grinched and that a new filter is required. Don't over tighten. If your engine has an oil cooler, the seal for the cooler could have issues. Aug 4, 2017 / Oil leaking from behind oil filter 27hp kohler engine #3
Having the wrong filter can make for big problems. Not making certain the seal from the old filter was not stuck to the aluminum block and now you are trying to seal the new filer and its seal to the old seal which does not work.

Grinched = Distorted (In this case anyway). Out of shape, Twisted when installed and not sealing correctly. Do you have any mechanical capability? Aug 10, 2017 / Oil leaking from behind oil filter 27hp kohler engine

I took the filter off but it looks like it is leaking from right behind the filter area before it had a drip, i will try changing the filter and see if that helps. Overdue for a oil change anyway
