Briggs&straton all the oil leaked out from under the engine. the engine oil
hi there donald77
provided you have not got any cracks in the sump plate and the sump plate bolts are tight
sounds like you have a worn out pto seal ( please check pto for bend or wobble ) as this could have caused this from hitting something solid
it it is bent have it straightened before proceeding
remove the blade carrier and hub and key - clean up the pto with emery tape , drain oil , use a straight shaft flat blade screwdriver and lever the seal out of position
obtain a new seal place some thin plastic sheet ( from say a thin walled plastic container )
cut into a size that you can wrap around pto , then slide the seal over it up to the opening ,
the drive the seal into the housing squarely until the seal is flush with the housing ( on a non stepped pto ) 7/8 shaft
but on a stepped pto 25 mm drive it in further until its about 3 mm below the housing
reassemble and refill with oil
cheers hope it helps
