Tecumseh hs80 drips oil out of the breather tube.

It’s a slow drip, one every 10 secs. Would this be a head gasket or valves, or rings? Runs good otherwise, no smoke

Pull the cover off and the breather out. Check that the drain hole in the breather is on the bottom and not clogged. If someone has been in it before, there is a good chance they installed it upside down. I went through this with an HMSK80 not long ago.

So I guess I reinstalled it upside down, the drain holes were really small and I didn’t even see it had them, fixed now! Thanks all

Didn't the old Detroit diesel 2 strokes leak oil out of the breathers by design?
