PLS HELP BX2360 Leaking HST

[670eddie]

hello all im new here and this is my first post, I have bx2360 leaking that is appearing in the lower fins of the hst cooler cover, I replaced the gasket and o ring under it as I thought it was running down from the o ring area which is where the propeller shafts enter the hst, it still leaked so I figured it must have a hairline crack, I replaced again the o ring and cover gasket and this time the hst cooler cover, and what do you know same leak, I'm at a loss does anyone have to advise on this, please?

I can not speak from experience fixing the leak, but my BX1880 had incredible leak out of the blue and the oil would be spread all over the transmission by the HST fan. The dealer fixed it under warranty and they told me that there were a couple of plugs that they had to reinstall with teflon tape. I believe that they are item #60 in the diagram.

If it is leaking from around the input shaft, the seal that's leaking is #50.

It appears to me that the leak begins to form right in the middle groves of the fins and I cannot see it coming down from the shaft area, I'm gonna try uv dye in the oil clean it off and watch, I've replaced the items in yellow in the photo and red is where the leak seems to weep from.

curious... what stops oil 'weeping' past the bearing #150 ?

It would be seal #50 in the diagram whitetiger shown

So I used UV dye in the system and confirmed that seal #50 that whitetiger mentioned is leaking as the fluid is running down from the shaft, thank you everyone for the replies.
