I will try to make this short. Hauling wood on the trailer yesterday and noticed oil coming out of flywheel keyhole plate. It is not engine oil it is hydraulic oil as
that compartment is low. Checked weep hole at the bottom and it was plugged with grass and crap from summer as it was open at the start of spring. Last winter I put in a
new clutch and transmission seals. Transmission is checking fine and hydraulics checking low. With oil coming out of flywheel keyhole I am guessing the clutch may be crap
now. My searches on here have found that it could be either pressure or sump hydraulic lines that run through the clutch housing. What else could it be? Don't think it
could be the seal on pump unless seal blew building pressure around drive gear plate gasket and then is running down into clutch housing. Only thing I know to start would
be to leave tractor on the level, refill hydraulics and see if oil continues to weep.If it doesn't weep it would be something else. Any help or suggestions will be
appreciated.
