I checked the oil level on my B4200 today before mowing my meadow and it was on the bottom of the dipstick. I added 250ml and off I went. After 15 mins or so it lay down a 10ft trail of oil on the grass from the breather hose. It's not the first time this has happened and now it's back to the bottom of the dipstick.
Is this a common problem, crankcase breather maybe? Is it a problem at all? should I just accept it as the oil level the engine is happy with?🤷‍♂️
