I have new, few weeks of possession, Branson 3015 HS.
It's parked inside and I noticed oil stains on the floor.
Last weekend, got myself under and found that it appears to seep from a seal between the rear differential cover and driveshaft cover, if I am using proper terms. Apparently, they used hermetic to seal surfaces and it does not really seal tight. Unless, it is seeping from somewhere above along the metal ridge?
Anyhow, it is nothing major, few drops. I don't have trailer and dealer's shop is about 50 mile away, so I am trrying to avoid the hassle of dragging tractor there somehow DIY. Looks like major disassembly to me and, likely, sitting there for long time.
Any way to fix it? There are two large bolt heads right next to the leaking area, should I get my socket with cheat pipe onto them? Or, considering it's a tractor, just let it be and monitor oil level? Or, clean, degrease that area and resin over it? I have some very good resins. But then question is - warranty? Will this void it?
Sort of upsetting to see such piddly problem with a new machine.
