Lawn mower gas leakage from air filter?
This This sounds like a carbureture problem. There is dirt in the carb causing the float to stay open and flood the carb with gas. This is a dangerous situation and the mower should not be started when this is happening. IF you are handy with tools and know something about carbs you can fix this yourself. Otherwise take it to a professional.Source(s):30 years experience repairing small equipment 3 years ago

Why does my Lawn mower engine oil smell of petrol?
Is it a Craftsman? I have two of them and they are doing the very same thing. The carb is somehow allowing the gas to leak into the oil. When you start it up... does is smoke a lot? I fixed the issue by putting a on off valve in the gas line. Open it up when you are using the mower and turn it off when not in use. Problem was solved. However do check the oil occasionally
