Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): oil leak, murray briggs, crankcase breather

Question
Hi, my 5.5 murray/briggs and straton lawn mower is leaking oil out of the air filter, how can i fix this? Thanks Matt

Answer
Hello Matthew:

This Problem is Usually Caused by the Crankcase Breather Not Operating as Designed. Send me the Model and Type or Spec Numbers Off the Engine, Please. With these I can Locate the Proper Manual and Better Assist you. The Model Numbers May be Stamped Into the Blower Housing (metal engine cover) Above the Spark Plug. Thanks.
