Greetings, new to tractors so apologies if this is known. Noticing hydraulic fluid coming out of top fill cap reservoir. Is this normal when tractor is under load?

Not normal
Probably have a clogged vent or over full. That cap is also probably not stock so may not be able to seal well.

Vent on my tractor is on left side (sitting in seat) and underneath the seat area. Looks like a small tube bent into the shape of a question mark laying down.
It is at the top of the transmission case. Dirt dauber insects love to fill them with nests, unscrew and clean out with a wire

Check that the plug with the vent behind the seat has a similar vented cap.
Make sure both vents are open.
Next check that it's got the proper fluid level, if it's over filled, has contaminated fluid, or the wrong fluid it will do that.
The level sight glass gauge is by the clutch pedal on the side of the case.
