THIRD time fixing the infamous Kohler Courage valve cover leak on my Husqvarna lawn tractor since I bought it in 2012. I did it myself this time instead of letting the shop do it. I used the Permatex copper gasket maker instead of the cork gasket, I'll see how long that lasts. First time mowing afterwards the dipstick jumps out and spewed oil everywhere, a bungee cord holds it down, now. Evidently the rubber o-ring on the dipstick is compressed due to age, I don't even want to know how much the dealer would charge for that item.
