[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 4266, member: 307"] My knowledge on the clutch drives is limited to a 371 (mini bob) but if they have any thing in common the levers just went into a case full of oil housing many chains (6 total), 14 to 20 sprockets and 4 wet disc clutches, one for each direction on each side. In a 371 this “chain case” oil was also the hyd fluid. From what I can see in the pic then volume of oil you have lost is quite small. I would be checking to see if there was a plugged vent somewhere on the chain case, as it warms up the pressure many be pushing the oil through the seal. but this is not a high pressure hyd seal, it will just be a o ring, std oil seal or something simular Also there should be no trouble continuing to use the unit if the leak does not get alot worse. Youshould keep a eye one the level though. There must be a level plug or a dip stick that sets the oil level in that chain/clutch case. The 371 used atf for oil , I'm not sure on yours, but it looks dark like it has a fair bit of clutch wear in the oil. When you get the tools to open it up, it would be a good time for new oil.
