Drive motor is leaking oil from the box in the frame of the picture. Don't want to tear it apart yet as still need to move the machine around but was hoping I can get some knowledge about what may be hiding behind door number 1 and how much work is involved with the repair.

I don't know what the repair would entail but I just replaced the drive motor in my Bobcat 331. I took the drive motor into Bobcat to have them rebuild it but they said the planetary gears were shot and the outer casing was also trashed. The rebuild would have cost nearly what a new drive motor cost. I went with a new drive motor which set me back $3500. I performed the swap so that was just for the parts.
