Vro oil leak

[Nonovro]

I have a VRO 50hp that runs really well but has recently started leaking a small amount of oil from the air box,it looks like it's leaking through from the vro pump mountings, Has anyone had this problem is it likely to blow the engine and what did you do,I have heard that if you have oil pump problems you can disconnect the oil pump and premix the fuel. Any advice would be much appreciated

Locate the exact spot where it's leaking and go from there.

I would check to make sure the vro pump mounting screws are tight. take off the air box and make sure the drain hose is connected not unusual to have oil in the air box. I also think might be wrong that you have the vro mounted to the air box the oil side of the pump is away from the air box.
