Oil leak is coming from an o-ring on the engine. Requires engine removal and split to get to it. Error code is an issue with the throttle body and needs replaced. Prob looking at $3k in repairs. Tractor will not be coming home. Waiting on the final numbers for a trade in to a Kubota L60.
Long wait time for new(ish) tractor parts - the frustration continues

WOW,I would also have purchased the Kubota after what you have experienced.Good luck with the new tractor.
I say it came back with a leak but it's possible it started in the whopping 10 hours I put on the tractor before the error code started. I only noticed it because I had it on the concrete driveway which is rare.
Should have a new quote back today and hopefully an idea on lead time on the kubota.

I'm curious where there is an O ring on the engine that would cause an oil leak?

I'm curious about a lot of things with this dealer/shop.
The dealer I purchases from took care of all issues prior to starting this post. The current dealer is my closest dealer and completed the last repair of the driveshaft, front end, and transmission. Eddy not sure exactly but I do know the engine must be removed to access it and if you look at all of the crap on these things now I'm sure a whole lot of other stuff has to be removed as well. Estimate on the current repair is approx $3k for both issues.
Unfortunately had I taken the trade earlier and chose not to fix mine the first time I would be into the new tractor for about $5k less than I am now. New tractor will be a Kubota Grand L6060 with cab. Added several items including 3 rear remotes, 3rd function diverter, rear work lights, defrost kit, rear wiper, and radio. Need to see if I can get the dealer to load the rear tires if I provide the wiper fluid. Only drawback is the ugly *** color. I think orange is probably my least favorite color of all of the brands.
