I have a MZ6128 Husqvarna Zero turn. i discovered an oil leak coming from under the blower housing on the opposite end from intake manifold. Any ideas where it could be coming from??

Check to see if there is a safety switch under the seat. This shuts the mower down if the rider falls off for safety. You can test the switch by unplugging it and jump the connections together at the end that is attached to the engine. If it runs in this condition you need a new safety switch in the seat.
check the pins in back there should be two pins in the back or under the seat that you pull out to push it around your garage or whatever and the should be pushed in to mow. that seems to be a fun trick to play on people around here.
I'd say check the oil and make sure air filter and cooling fins are clean, but I assume the shop will have done that. Has a fuel line gotten run too close to something hot? Might not show up when started and run at the shop, but would after running under load.
The upper intake manifold, or plenum, is notorious for leaking coolant internally into the engine. Replacements are available from many aftermarket sources.
Read the manual. These so called "problems" are standard safety features that someone should have gone over with you. Sounds like poor salesmanship. When starting the mower the bars should be out and the park brake pulled. Then disengage the parkbrake and pull the arms in to drive the mower. Do exactly the opposite to get off the mower. I just bought one today every model I looked at was like this.
I just had the same problem. Ford design the intake manifold with plastic water crossover which cracks. The coolant will leak onto the top of the block and and then down the back of the engine. This intake design is a known defect and was ocvered under by Ford for 7 years past the date of mfg. The crack either is in the crossover or the thermostat housing. I happed on this when I found the same leak and traced it back to the thermostat housing. I changed the thermostat, but it leaked worse. You can pickup a aftermarket for $200 and it's about 4-6 hr job to replace.
