- 1). Locate the oil leak on your lawn mower. This is usually fairly easy, as the crack or pin hole in your engine block will have oil around it.
- 2). Tip the lawn mower so the crack is facing up. This will prevent any more oil from leaking out.
- 3). Buff the cracked area dry with a rag.
- 4). Read and follow the instructions for the use of your cold-weld compound of choice. Stir the cold-weld compounds together with toothpicks to create a quarter-size pile at a time. Make more as needed.
- 5). Scrape the mixture onto the crack. Spread it out with the toothpick and have it cover a centimeter away from each side of the crack. Allow it to dry for 12 hours or as specified on the cold-weld compound's instructions.
