B7300 Oil Leak

Hey guys,
I am new to the forum and need some input. As most do, I joined the forum because I have a problem. My B7300 has developed an engine oil leak that I can't figure out. Just recently it began dripping oil from around the starter area. I looked things over, expecting to find the valve cover leaking. It wasn't. It is dripping from the starter/flywheel area. It drips about a drop per second. I'm no mechanic..I just do all the regular routine maintenance on the tractor. It has about 1100 hrs on the meter. Never had a problem until now. Any ideas what is happening??

Check the oil pressure sending unit. It may be just above and behind the starter. Dusty

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out while the turkey is cooking.
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Enjoy your Turkey. Happy thanksgiving. Owning a tractor to fix is something else to be gratefull for. Dusty

Re: B7300 Oil Leak

Well, no such luck. The oil pressure unit wasn't the problem. It is definitely leaking from the starter/flywheel area. I am pretty sure it is engine oil. Looks like a trip to the dealer service dept is in my future.

Re: B7300 Oil Leak

I have the same problem. I was thinking the rear main seal. Is this what you found?
