Steal of the day, a 2146, now I need help fixing its oil leak
So I'm tinkering away in the garage working on replacing a PTO side oil seal in a CH18 and my neighbor from down the street pulls in. He says to me "Would you be interested in another Cub?". Well naturally I tell him I'm listening
 We ride down to his place and it turns out to be a 2146. All and all, it's in pretty darn good cosmetic shape; missing the decals on the hood and a couple scratches on the fenders but otherwise, very solid; no real rust to speak of. He tells me it has a flat front tire (duh), needs a battery as the one in it won't hold a charge, and it has an oil leak. I look at the hour meter, she's still a young buck at only 402 hours. He asks me what I'll give him for it. I look it over, try to figure what I can part it out for, and tell him "Look, I don't want to lo ball you, but to me as it sits, it's worth $50, MAYBE $100." He says would you give me $100, I tell him let me sit on it for a day, and he says "I tell you what, you give me $50 right now and it's yours.". Well that was an easy call, deal!We add some oil, jump start it, and it fires right up. I hobble it 2 blocks home and let it idle a bit so I can see where the leak is coming from. Below is a pic of the leak, and a video of where it's coming from. Having never dealt with a Yanmar motor before, can anyone tell what the problem is, where the oil is coming from? If I can fix the oil leak, I may keep it or flip it for some easy cash. It doesn't look like it's coming from the head, but where else could it be?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdaok...ature=youtu.be

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
