My mower is leaking oil onto the top of the deck, but still running OK. I overfilled it a couple of weeks ago and then I tipped it to dump some out and brought it down to Full level. So I have used it a couple of times since then and both times, maybe about 1/4 cup - 1/2 cup of oil slowly leaked onto the deck while mowing. I can't quite tell where it is coming from, but possibly a seal near the base of the engine. I was getting ready to either take it in some place or tear into it myself, but it seems to be slowing, so I wondered if this was caused when I tipped it to drain some oil, and oil collected somewhere it wasn't supposed to. It is still at or near the full mark on the dipstick. Does this sound like a bad seal or something or just a temporary problem? thanks-
