I have a small persistent hydro fluid leak where the mid-section piece is joined to the back transmission case. See diag.
I had the tractor split and repaired last year with a bunch of new internal o-rings, new case bolts and re-goop gasteted. The leak stopped for a few months but now is baaaack. I notice that it drips a lot less (less than a teaspoon every month or two) if I don't relieve hydraulic pressure on the bucket when I shut it off so I'm probably not going to have the tractor split again any time soon.
Any ideas what could cause this? I assume it's always got hydro fluid in this section so is it most likely just a bad gasket application? Could a leaky hydro pump seal cause this?
.... actually, the gasket weeping is more like along the bottom.
