It is best to take the machine to a good repair shop like www.arcolawn.com and have a "leakdown test performed." This will prevent you from spending money and time in replacing gaskets that are going to go bad again because the piston rings are bad. If the machine passes a leakdown test then it is worth pulling the engine and installing a new sump gasket. under 20 bolts and you can do it yourself.
www.arcolawn.com has the parts diagrams if you type in your model

New toro recycler walk behing mower is blowing white smoke and leaking oil out of the bottom of the engine on to the deck. This is the second unit in less that 15 months to go bad, first one only lasted two months. PaId $420, now we're out that entire investment.
