Great... the safety features did what they were supposed to do! Should be able to sleep a bit better knowing that. Great little machines.

When you get the time, and you probably have many things to go, you can take a look see. If it looks like it a hard place to see/get at. Then take the doors and top off. It's much easyer in the end. Maybe it's just a valve cover, or one of the engine side panels come loose. If the engine turns over, half the battle is won. Positive thinking is need here!

I have seen the oil drain leak! Maybe you will have the luck of the Irish. Pictures of the area where the leak is better than a thousand words to me. The first thing I do when I get one of these units is clean them. That way you can see minor issues without grease and grime, or 10 lbs of Afghanistan sand hiding them. Clean the area where you suspect the leak, add oil, look for leaks again and if it is not showing a leak, then run it for a minute to see where it is leaking from under pressure. Check the coolant for contamination also!
