I am having issues sporatically with my motor being real hard to start. Usually cold it starts fine. But when i drive it shut of then fish for a half hour sometimes it takes quite awile for it to start. So i took it to the dealer they said other than adjusting the idol it starts great. So back out i go with it this weekend and same thing it barely would start. Now i also see its leaving puddles of oil in driveway. so i check and oil level is low and it looks like oil is coming out the intake. And in the area by it is covered in oil aswell. It went from full to halfway to add today in a quarter tank of gas. motor is a 96 by the way. could this be a carb adjustment problem. I did have some crud in gastank at the start of the year.
