It might be good to have someone who does valve repair come to take a look at it. There could be a problem with your valve that might need to be fixed soon. If I were you then I would call a valve repairman very soon so that I wouldn't have to worry about it too much. http://www.johnvalves.com.au/valve-repairs

A "chattering" pressure washer pump can be caused by many things. You could have a bent or damaged inlet line, or the water supply might be too low. Fixing these is simple, but checking on the water supply is critical. Never let the water supply run low for any extended period of time. Other causes of a chattering pump include water that is too hot, you may have air in the pump system or a stuck float valve. A power washer pump that is vibrating, but not chattering could be the result of air in the system or debris stuck in the valves. Catching these pressure washer problems early and knowing what causes them will save you a trip to the repair shop, especially when it comes to the low-water issue.

Troubleshooting Low Nozzle Pressure

Low nozzle pressure is a common complaint generally caused by one of the following:

1. Plugged nozzle tip.
2. Inlet screen plugged.
3. Insufficient flow in gallons per minute (not pressure) to the pump.
4. Unloader valve stuck open due to debris lodged under the check valve ball.
5. Customer use of shutoff-type quick connectors.
6. Plugged hose.



Troubleshooting Pressure Washer Soap Injector

When a soap injector is not working properly, the problem is generally fairly easy to isolate. Check the following:

1. If you have interchangeable tips, make sure the Black, soap tip is installed. Soap injectors will not work when high pressure nozzles are installed.
2. Be sure that the soap injector valve is turned on, and turn selector valve to desired setting.
3. A piece of debris may be caught in the injector valve, injector ball valve, or orifice. Disassemble and clean the injector.
4. If you have an adjustable nozzle, be sure it is in the low pressure position(away from the gun) to draw soap.


Thanks

Why lots of oil leakage?

There might be a mechanical problem with your sewing machine to oil to be leaking and it needs to be repaired and the part that stops the oil from spilling out needs to have something sealing it then too to stop oil from leaking out.

Outboard motor,overfilled oil. Corrected, still little flow out

Too much oil in a four-stroke engine can cause too much pressure in the crankcase and force oil out of the crankcase breather or past the seals that normally keep the oil inside the motor. This can leave oil outside the engine which then slowly continues to wash off into the water.
Clean the outside of the motor (inside the external casing) with rags and/or degreaser and lots of water to remove residual spilled oil.
Recheck oil level again after running the motor.
If the over-pressure was very high it's possible that a seal is damaged and will continue to leak after the oil level is corrected. If this is the case you might be able to see freshly leaked oil somewhere (after running the motor) to find what needs fixing (e.g. a new gasket or seal may be needed).

Have just purchased a 2000 holden astra auto sedan 1.8L it has a small oil leak and my mum suspects either i need a new oil cap or something about the oil pressure that one day it may just explode? any...

A small oil leak is not problem, one drop of oil can spread out to the size of Silver dollar. Oil leaks are very expensive to repair and hard to pin down without access to a car lift. Tell Mom not to worry her little head about this. Cheers mate.

Oil leaking from within body of washer after half hours use and after switching off.. Oil is clean.

This is noticed on the Karcher washer and does not need any attention unless you are having a large spill over or leak. The oil oozes out when the pressure washer works for some time and is a result of a pressure leak when the washer is used for sometime.
I had seen this happen on mine for sometime , checked on all sides for any damage but there was none. So ignored but cleaned off the leak and was not seen then.

My pt cruiser 06 2.8 turbo started leaking oil?

OK, anytime oil gets into the cooling system or vice versa, there's a strong possibility that there is a leak at the head gasket.

Could have to do with overspeeding the engine.

The cooling system can get up to 14 to 16 psi, enough to burst into the oil lines which run next to the cooling lines in the head and block.

If it's spilling on the front driver's side of the car, then you have some serious problems with this engine.

Possible transmission oil leak

absorb the frluid into a white paper towell ... if it is red in color then its transmission fluid .... if its clear or brown then its likely engine oil ... if the transmission is leaking a little then there are additives that can be put in the transmission to soften the seals .. that will often fix small seal leaks ...if the leak is slight and not damaging driveways then its not likely to cause major trouble as long as you keep your eye on the transmission fluid level .. ... if its engine oil then you could have a leaking valve cover gasket, oil pressure sending unit (sensor) ... or it could be jjust from spills as oil is changed or added .

1998 Saturn SL2 smell of wax paperburning after relatively short drive. Oil light came on on last Thursday so stopped and had oil added. When I arrived home Thursday evening I noticed smell.

Sounds like you spilled a little oil on the engine when you added oil. Don't worry it will burn off by itself as long as you don't have an oil leak somwhere. If the smell doesn't go away after running the engine for 50 miles or so have a shop check the engine for oil leaks.

Oil leak from engine filter

The problem here is the switch inside the oil filter housing, or one of the lines attached to the bottom inboard side of the housing is clogged (oil return line). I just had this repaired. The oil could not return to the motor freely, so pressure was building up in the filter canister and leaking from the cover. The switch is called the oil pressure regulator switch, I believe. The filter depresses a little button at the bottom of the filter chamber. My oil filter was damaged apparently by the use of non-synthetic oil by the previous owner. Please have this addressed as this can lead to engine damage due to oil starvation.
