As I was clearing some snow with my L355 Shuttle Shift, I noticed some fluid drops in the snow. Within the few minutes it took me to get back to the point where I could take a look at the leak, it was a slow stream.
I'm fairly certain it's hydraulic fluid and not engine oil coming from the blind plug holes at the bottom of the flywheel housing. Looking at the holes, it appears there were plugs in at one time, but they look like they've been gone for some time.
The tractor seems to be operating properly.
Any thoughts on how to continue? I've read quite a few threads and watched some videos, but would like to get headed in the right direction.
I've attached a photo and page from the parts manual showing the leak locations.
