Anyone out there familiar with the 70's vintage MF30 Industrial with the Perkins Diesel? On mine, at the rear of the motor, on the left side, there is a thick metal plate (where the clutch area is attached). at the top of this plate is a plug. I have oil seeping from this plug when the motor is running (I'm not sure yet if it is engine or hydraulic oil). A dealer told me this probably means problems with the output shaft and the tractor must be split to fix it (at a cost of $3000-$4000) plus finding a way to getting the unit to the dealer. Does this make sense? The dealer said first to determine the type of oil, but there should not be any oil coming out as the plug is only meant to look into. I have neither the tools/knowledge nor the place to fix it myself. Thanks
