I have a Troy Bilt 33 ton splittah that's a few years old. Has been great. Today I noticed that at the end of the return stroke the lever was not popping back- the engine bogged down. Happened many, but not every time. Then I noticed that there's some fluid leaking from the valve. On the return stroke there appear to be bubbles coming out at this leak point. I wiped it down and it was greasy again after several more cycles.
Here's a pic of exactly where the leak is occurring.
The bolts there are tight. Do I just need a new gasket, or is it something more serious?
Thanks
