How do I fix my pressure washer pump leaking oil? That was the question my neighbor asked last night. It was her first experience using a pressure washer pump. Just like my neighbor, are you stuck on how you can fix your pressure washer pump from leaking oil? Rather than get yourself worried, I will advise you to get a seat, and relax. In this article, we will walk you through all you have to do to fix a pressure washer pump that is leaking oil.
Triplex plunger pumps have a longer life span than the other types of pressure washer pumps. They are less prone to leaks, cool down in a relatively short time after getting hot and can pump with a higher pressure. here

Check your oil level first. Too much oil in the crank and a problem like that can occur. [links]

My pressure washer is old and started leaking oil as well.
Cured the problem with using the "High Mileage" type motor oil. The additives in the oil stopped all the leaks that occur at the seals. [links]

Here it is after I cleaned it up:
Shot of front of motor, most of the leak looks to be coming from this area - more
Here is the sump after i took it off:
Here you can see where i think the breather was leaking:
I also found that where I think it was leaking from the sump gasket that bolt to be real loose as well. Also one of the breather assemb bolts was loose and looks like oil was leaking from it. In all 3 cases the bolt shafts were covered in oil and the threads too. I cleaned it all up with carb cleaner, put new gaskets on the exhaust, breather, head and sump. Also put a new crank shaft seal. Re-torqued in 1/3s. Put her all back together, filled her up with oil and a little gas and she fired right up and ran great. Looked for oil leaking and did not see any. I could only run for about 15 Min because it started to rain but hopefully all is good.
I assume that the pump just unbolts from the bottom of the pressure washer. Is that all a contained unit or will I need to refill that with oil? Or do I just bolt it back up when I am done?
