JD 2305 leaking fluid like crazy

[Kevingrade4]

I've got a big leak on the rear right side. It's so wet I can't even see where its coming from. Does anybody know what's down there so I can look in the right place? Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Kev

Power wash and dry it to see where it's coming from. I assume it's hydraulic fluid since engine oil shouldn't be in that area. Most likely the 3 point lift cylinder or associated hoses/lines. Do you have an independent mower lift? Clean up the loader connections well to make sure it isn't coming from there.

Cracked or hairline fractured housing?

Thanks for your help. I washed and dried it, put it up on jacks and took off the rear wheel. The fluid was leaking down one of the hydraulic lines attached to the pump. I replaced the two copper seals on the banjo bolt and it stopped the leak! That's the type of fix I like!

Good news. Sometimes you get lucky.
