Does it have a hydro tank by the gas tank or is the hydro fluid in the chain case? If it has the tank and gear reduction boxes with the drive motors on them there is a seal between them that also needs to be replaced

Hey AF, My hydraulics are stored in the two side tanks (chain case) and the fuel tank is plastic which is under the main pump. I just screwed up and in my rush I thought I could get by with silicone as a gasket (NOT) to cheap to go buy some cork/rubber gasket material. I am going to pull the left rear axel and take it apart to see if the seal can be saved and also why it leaks. Thanks for the words of wisdom
