Then you must remove the oil on the outside of the engine, run the mower and look for leaks. If you not able to see where is leaking use an UV tracer dye and matching UV light source and the leaking will show upp under the UV exposure. What matching UV light is that if you using an UV dye that requires 365 nm light then you should use a 365 nm light source. Once you find the leak then you do appropriate repairs. Quote #2
