BX2660 Oil Leaks - Having Trouble Finding the Source

[barmanpoet]

I have a 2010 BX 2660 with 53 hours. I purchased it used with 43 hours on it this past summer so we haven't used it a whole lot. I purchased it from a Kubota dealer and they performed the 50 hour service for us when we purchased it. (oil and filter change) I've noticed some oil puddling on the floor (directly underneath the oil pan) and I noticed that there were some oil drips accumulating on the oil pan (near the oil drain plug) and then dripping on the floor. I took the front/side cover off to get a closer look at the engine and noticed that there was an oil/dirt mix around the entire oil pan (where the oil pan and engine block meet as well as on the lower part of the oil pan). I checked the engine oil level and it is not down at all. I checked the transmission fluid level and the reading on the dipstick was about 25% down. I can't seem to find the source of the leak and I'm wondering if it's transmisson fluid, since that is reading low. I was wondering if this sounded familiar and it anyone had any ideas on where to look. Or should I just take it back to a dealer since it's still under warranty? Thank you.

Did you find the problem? My bx2660 has the same leak, but I haven't narrowed it down yet.

If your transfluid is down check the power steering lines and the rest of the system. That's the only component that carries trasfluid up by the engine.
