[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 7311, member: 82"] The leak could be anything. It could be the shaft seal on the hydrostatic pump, a tube line behind the engine could have rubbed through (not un-common). I would seriously doubt it would be leaking from your gearbox. Once sealed thses really should never leak as there is no movement that could break the seal. You may want to check chain case oil level by parking on level ground and remove the plug at the front, the oil should just trickle out or you should be able to feel it with a finger. From what you describe about starting i really do believe you have a glow plug problem. As Ken said, check the glow plug rail for power when you hit glow. If its got power, i'd pull the plugs and change them, or at least check them with a battery and heavy cable, they should glow red the full length of the tip. [/QUOTE]
