if it was a vent you would think it would have some kind of a filter/ check valve to keep dirt and debris out.

what puzzles me most is that it is a threaded hole..

.
Many times there is a cotter key in the hole. It is put in loose enough to jiggle around. This keeps the hole free of debris.

It's a bad seal or the gasket on front of trans, if it has one. Better get it fixed before you have to buy a new clutch.

I've ran the tractor 3 times since I posted the OP, since my dealer won't be open until tomorrow.

The first time, I ran it about 30 minutes. No leaking.

The second time was about 1 hour, there was some dripping afterwards.

Ran today for about 2 hours, no dripping.

I think we should hold tight and not speculate, as the last Magicman reported on Sept 1, no leak.

And the serviceman was going to check it out maybe next week.

No problem with it. Buy the tractor, use it and have fun.
