I finally figured out where my leak is coming from. It's on top of the hydrostatic pump where the joystick controls hook up to the pump. See pics. Trying to find what this part is called and not having much luck. Do you happen to know is this a common problem and is this something a seal kit...

The engine oil is good every time I check it, so I don't think that is the fluid I'm seeing. I will see what I can figure out. I assume it would be beneficial to make sure that the hydraulic fluid tank is full and should I have the machine running when looking for the leak? Thanks again for all...

The only place I notice fluid leaking is out of the rear drain access. I did notice a significant amount of fluid right under the engine when I opened the back door. Is there a relatively easy way to gain access to see where the leak is coming from?

So I did some more looking and discovered that the drain cover is missing altogether, and it looks like the fluid is dripping right by the drain plug, but not out of the drain plug from what I can tell. So this more than likely means that I have a leak under the cab somewhere, correct? I also...

Thank you!! I will check it out.

Isn't there a removable skid plate that is under the machine? Or is that part of the chaincase? I am adding oil to the check plug at the front of the machine until it is level with the plug. The oil is leaking out of one of holes towards the back of the machine. I will look for that drain plug...

I am having to add fluid to the chaincase on a pretty regular basis. Is it necessary to remove the belly pan to get a better look? I understand it is extremely heavy. Where is the drain cover you were talking about located? Thanks for the help!!

I have a 2007 S185 that is leaking chaincase fluid. It started as a pretty minor leak and now seems to be getting worse. A few years back I had all new wheel bearings and seals replaced, also new axles on one side of the machine were replaced. Could the leak have something to do with a faulty...
