ck20 kioti and 46 kabota
ihad to have my ck20 in shop last fall for engine work they ended up replacing the engine something about the compression vales weret working right. now i have a oil leak on the right side of engine( middle side) but cant find it, it looks like it has been blowen around and driped on the bottom, it runs down some of the lines, but oil level isnt low. not getting hot.. just a very slow drip . any clue whats going on? no bad sounds, has power.. thanks R

Clean off all the surface oil on the engine and then check regulary to try and get to the source.

Valve cover gasket??

is it more towards the front of the block? just above where the lower radiator hose goes into the block? is the oil on the lower radiator hose and the loader mount point?

clean the area, let dry, and get some foot spray powder. it leaves the area white with powder and will help locate the leak. good luck.

There are additives you put in oil that will glow under a blacklight. That may be your last resort if the powder method doesn't work.
