Front Axle leaking oil on new LX2610

[DRLX2610]

I have a new Kubota lx2610 with only about 1 hour of operation. I saw a oil discharge from the front axle. I can’t tell how much leaked out as the tractor was parked on gravel but it’s a fair amount.

I don’t know what this silver hooked shape overflow is on the front axle near the oil fill and dip-stick. Can anyone tell me what this overflow is for and if this is normal to discharge oil from here

That is your front axle vent tube and it not normal to have any oil come out of it. It's possible the dealer overfilled the axle case and when you ran it as the oil expanded it blew some out. I would check the oil level before you use it next. Check your owners manual on how to check the oil level. Kubota does a better job explaing how to check oil better than i can.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll check the level and keep an eye on it.

I would contact the dealer too - if overfilled, it would make perfect sense to vent some amount out.
The dipstick is clearly marked - but the oil is clear too! Sometimes hard to read on the stick.
