L2900 GST leak

[Fourwheelinj1]

Recently bought an L2900 GST with 645 hours at auction and I am getting ready to change all the fluids and filters as a preventative measure. I just got done buying $300 worth of fluid and filter for the Glide shift transmission. When I crawled underneath I noticed a small leak coming from where the transmission shift cables enter the trans. Is there an o ring or seal or something where the cable enters the housing on the side of the transmission? If not it might be the metal cover is not sealed good to the housing. It looks like someone put rtv sealant there instead of a gasket but looks like where the cable enters the cover is the wettest part. Any ideas. Parts diagram from kubota was not very helpful. I don’t want to be leaking that high dollar fluid out.

look at the parts diagrams online. I think the cable assembly is supposed to be sealed from the valve body. If this is the case, that seal is leaking and would need to be replaced.

Yes I looked at the parts diagram first thing. I see that there is a gasket between the trans and the cable cover which means that the cable cover gets fluid in it. i am wondering if there is a gasket/oring that seals the opening where the cable goes into the cover. Has anyone taken this cover off before? If so do you just unbolt the cover and pull it off or do you have to loosen/ remove the cables first. I know very little about glide shift.
