Hi everyone,
Looking for some help with our L1501 Kubota.
When running the Kubota we have an oil/fuel coming from the side of the injector pump and was wondering what could be causing this?
Please see the pictures of this issue!
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

It could also be hydraulic fluid.

You will need to get a good sample because you could have all three leaking from there and will need to know which one it really is.

You should be able to tell by color, consistency and smell.
Also keeping an eye on each of the levels.

I'd also degrease the area completely, run a little and sprinkle baby powder., then lightly blow it off. It will show you where it is leaking from. As it is, over time, oil sort of spread up, left, right and down. Fresh leaking runs down at first.
