1991 bobcat 753

[wazzy]

I went to use my bobcat after it sat all winter and upon startup the warning came on low hydraulic fluid.The machine would not move so i checked and no oil registered on the resorvoir dipstick. I added one gallon of oil just to get it to show on the dipstick.I took the plug out at the front of the machine and the oil shot out like a gusher.Its leaking into the chain case as there is no oil on the floor. Any suggestions on what is wrong and how hard of a repair is it. Thanks AL

Drive motor carrier shaft seal or the plug in the carrier shaft has come loose.

Drive motor carrier shaft seal or the plug in the carrier shaft has come loose.

The other possible cause is the case drain filters being blocked ,thus causing the seals to leak into the chaincase.
