check at joint between engine and gen, its usually the engine oil seal need replacing u will need to split engine from gen, and replace the oil seal

my wacker 5600 generator leaked gas into oil. What would cause that

Check your oil level pressure sensor. It may need to be tightened or require a gasket.

No dipstick then you fill it all the way to the bottom of the oil fill hole. If you have a riser type oil filler the dipstick should be attached to the cap. Worst case senerio remove the low oil level sensor and fill with oil at that point until you can no longer add oil without making a mess, I am sure there is a gray oil cap somewhere. That is where your supposed to add oil until you can no longer add oil without it overflowing.

You could do this but leak could also be around oil filler plug if not seated. The main engine bearing seal is more likely if the unit is old with large number of hours.

If you find a bad gasket, replace with the silicone make your own sealant AND DO NOT overtighten screws. That can worsen the problem with gaskets.

More than likely it came out of the crank case vent. Your intake valve could have been stuck open (for some reason) which pressurized the crank case.

It maybe a crankshaft seal.
you will have to remove the genset from the engine.
Normally there is a Thru bolt aprox 12" long that is attached to the crankshaft.

1) remove the genset windings/housing from engine
2) remove the thru bolt
3) with a 2x4 block of wood laying on the metal of the armature (NOT the windings)
4) forcefully wrap with a large hammer, DO NOT hammer on the brushes/comutator bars. Only on the metal housing that has the windings around it.
*the shaft is tapered, and it will take a 'jar' to seperate the crank and the armature.

Need model and serial number off this unit in order to proceed.

However, if it is a KY model, with an about 2" cover underneath. That cover is blocking the oil drain plug. It is possible that the oil drain plug is leaking. Remove and drain oil into pan. Clean the plug and add plumbers tape to the plug and install. Then fill the unit back up with oil.
