What to do when your Craftsman lawn and garden equipment engine leaks gas or oil

• Check the oil level when the engine leaks oil. Drain oil to the full mark on the dipstick if you find the engine overfilled.
• A leaking head gasket or sump gasket can also cause oil leaks. Replace any damaged engine gaskets.
• If you notice gasoline stains on the pavement or garage floor, investigate the source of the leaking fuel.
• Rebuild or replace the carburetor if it leaks gas.
• Check the fuel pump for leaks and replace the pump if it's damaged.

Troubleshooting your Craftsman lawn and garden equipment engine when it won't stay running

Fuel system problems often cause the engine to stall, so you'll need to rebuild or replace the carburetor if it won't stay running. Our fuel, ignition and compression problems video provides additional tips for troubleshooting fuel system problems.

Some engines stall if the gas cap vent gets clogged. Check your mower's gas cap and clear the vent if it has one. Tuning up the mower engine may also help keep the engine running as you mow the grass.
