odd failure, hydralic oil leaking thorough starter engine

[se-User]

I have an L175 since 20years, 3000h, working as it should, but now i have a odd hydralic oil leak through the starter engine.

Can't see where that oil should come from. Gearbox is not overfilled, everything works as it should.

Read something about a "Relief valve" in hydralic system for L185 do i have the same " Relief valve" on my L175? if so where is it located?

/thanks

Clean and degrease the starter and the area around it very well. Then run the tractor and verify where the oil is coming from. I doubt the oil is coming out of the starter.

The oil Pressure switch is on the same side as your starter, on my d750 when it started to leak it looked as if it was coming from the starter. if it is the oil switch get Kubota, don't waste money of after market like I did.

Is the starter at the low point in the bell housing? A seal or Welch plug may have failed in the front of the transmission, and that’s the only outlet. There should be a jiggle valve or drain in the bottom of the bell housing that may be plugged.

Well on the plus side, other than the oil leak, it looks like a nice tractor. With that much oil in the bell housing, I am surprised it even moves. Have a good look at the clutch disk, I am thinking it is ruined from all the oil.

True, clutch i spoiled, new one will be installed when fixing the leak, biggest problem is to find one able to help fix this.
thanks all.
