anyone familiar with this particular flywheel key?

It's the same one I'm working with. There should be this "key" kinda protruding from that space right? I should be able to feel it yes? Looks like nothing is there on mine. Last I checked I could turn the engine over with carb cleaner but it would immediately stall after.

It appears to use a woodruff style key. If so then it would not stick out at all and sometimes you need to remove the flywheel to check the key itself.

Woodruff keys stick out just like other keys , if it's not then it's sheared

Take the flywheel off and look. It could be sheared but shearing a steel key on a push mower would be pretty hard to do without causing more damage to the crankshaft. Often it will break off the top of the shaft. Most push mower engines use an aluminum flywheel key.

With Kohler it's the serial number. They don't call it code.

Looks to have been on the right place.

Agreed. Looks like there might be a minor oil leak somewhere.
