Hi grumpy

I am glad you encouraged me to do some detective work.

I cleaned the area and then ran the engine for about two minutes.
The leak is coming from the oik pan gasket in the same are where I though I had seen the it dripping from the cylinder head. The cylinder was dry, no leaks there. I then cleaned the area and ran the engine for just 10 seconds or so and confirmed the source of the leak. Its possible that I might see another leak if I ran the machine longer. Here's a pic

OK, now what? Tighten bolts? Replace gasket? It seems gasket is discontinued for some reason. Anyway, does this mean I have to get the engine off the frame. I see five nuts at the bottom. I guess I have to remove blades and clutch and any cable. Any guidelines on how to remove clutch??
