Good Day,
I'm a bit of a rookie here. I just started using a different finish mower that probrably pushes the limits of my 6100hst. It's a 5' woods finish mower, used but in good condition. I have some portions of my property that are hilly so though it is working well I think I am really pushing my engine.
I just noticed a leak and believe it or not am having trouble determining whether its oil or hydrolic fluid. Hydrolics work fine at this point but look a bit low.
Oil - I changed the oil about 20 hours use ago and there is no obvious leak from the oil filter or drain plug. The drip is coming from th bottom of the transfer case and is dark but there is also fluid on the left (exhaust) side of the engine. (See pictures)
I cannot afford to take her in and have it serviced but obviously need to figure out what is wrong before I damage anything further.
Some basic steps to get me started would be much appreciated.
In the first picture you can see fluid on the case and exhaust. The second pi the drip is coming from the lowest point. Third picture is the fluid on box.
Thoughts??
