Did you remove the battery and look up in there and
maybe tighten fittings a bit or look for a leak?

Put up Pics!

Ok cleaned it up, It is leaking out the top of the steering unit seal. So I RTV it again and it slowed it down ...but it is starting to leak down front and back of the battery cage. ...........I emailed someone at the part manufacturer web site Douglass Autotech. And he wrote back and politely said sorry your on your own (stick it)
They cannot "legally help or advise me"
So is there anybody out there with some knowledge on were to get parts for this unit to rebuild it. I'll be damned if I spend 900 !@#$%ing dollars on a part I could rebuild for less than 60 bucks in parts if that.
Here is the Part's web site and number.
Kubota Bx1800 (2001) "K2561-41510 Steering Unit"
Contact Information
Maybe I'll wait a couple of months and just keep adding oil till the fall and take Unit apart and try and locate a place that will sell me some parts to refurbish this with some Viton Oil seals and O-rings.
Thanks for any and all help and what direction to head or contacts.
:irked: :muttering::grumpy: will keep ya posted.
