5020 leaking oil

my question is i have a 5020 John Deere that is leaking hydraulic oil out of the bottom of the clutch housing. Most likely the seal between the input shaft and the pto drive shaft or the seal in the end of the quill. Do you think i need to split at the clutch housing and the engine or the transmission case and clutch housing ,to get too both of these seals.

Yes..a split is needed, check the rear main seal & clutch while your in there...

tim you are saying the clutch housing and engine split, will get me to the 2 seals on the input shaft correct

Agree totally on checking rear main seal. I had dealer change clutch on my Ford, now rear main seal is leaking, so another split.

Yes splitting right behind the engine block, putting you into the clutch area.

I always figure a rear main seal in with a clutch job, along with the input shaft seal.
