Hi my back pack blower seems to be leaking a tiny bit of 2 stroke oil near primer but its not actually coming from primer. The oil is red as if it has not been mixed with four stroke. I dont understand as when its been mixed it should be leaking if anything a more diluted runny consistency. It still runs fine at moment. Husqvarna 570

  • This can happen in warm weather, in a moving van. The lighter petrol element of the mix evaporates in the carb, leaving the heavier 2-mix. THe movement of the van causes it ooze out through the air intake. Especially if the blower is not stored upright.

  • Hi, does this cause any problems.

  • In my experience, all the hand-held petrol tools end up with a sort of oily gunge around the carb after a lot of use..... nothing to worry about. I've used carb cleaner to clean it all up but it really doesn't cause problems. As David says, the oil is whats left after the petrol evaporates.
