Touch Control Empty, Crankcase Too Full....

Well my plow quit working the other day and turns out the reason is there was no oil in the touch control. I filled it back up, worked great for a while, then was empty again a few days later. There was no oil on the ground, where was it going? I checked the engine oil level and it was about 2 or 3 quarts too full, which didn't make any sense because it was fine not too long ago when I changed the oil and haven't added any since. My guess is the touch control pump is leaking into the front cover and draining into the crankcase. Anyone ever had this happen? FYI I am using regular engine oil in the touch control so it's not a big deal to the engine, just too full. I've looked around for rebuild kits for the pump but it appears there are none to be had. I'm open to suggestions, lay em on me.

A common issue. If the bearings in the bump are tight and the shaft location is not allowing the gears to hit the housing, the seal can be replaced. There are more than one pump.
IT will have either a lip type seal or an O ring.
Either can be repaired. The seal can be replaced, and a speedy sleeve pushed on over the original shaft. (pump assembled first)if it is an O ring, a new ring can be installed, but if the shaft is grooved, the speedy sleeve will not fit into the hole of the housing, ant the housing and groove will need to be rebored to allow for the bigger shaft diameter. No big deal either way, and less expensive than a new pump. JimN
 
Hi Josh, I haven't heard from you lately. If its your Super C it probably the hydraulic pump.
As Jim suggested the old seal has probably worn a groove causing the leakage into the engine.
Here's a breakdown on a Pesco pump Thompson is similar. Hal
PS: I guess it wont be long you will have the snow mobile running.
