kubota GR2100 trans leak from overflow

[kendiverdown]

I have a kubota GR2100 with about 101 hours on it, when I noticed the back panel wet with transmition oil. This scared me a little because of the nightmares that I read about here. When I looked closer I notice that it was leaking from the overflow hose that is located under the seat. it has a weird plastic valve looking plug on the end of the hose and goes to a T fitting. So anyway I took the tractor to the dealer and the mechanic said he thought it was a pin hole in a completly diffrent hose. Ok, now I am not a mechanic, but I do know that this is not the source of the leak. Has anyone had the same problem? Or any suggestions? I have checked the levels and they are between the lines, not over. I was wondering why is it backing up to the overflow? Is there something that is causing more build up of presser and could this be the begining of my GR2100 nightmare?

This is a little late for an answer to your post, but for anyone that might be tripping along, I had the same problem with about 250 hours one my GR 2100. The dealer fixed the problem by putting an expansion tank in line prior to the vent. Works great
