Ok...here goes. I was using my tractor the other day and noticed trans fluid running out the bottom of the tractor. I located the hole that the fluid was pouring out of and thought I had lost a plug or bolt. When I check the hole, there do not seem to be any threads to put a plug or bolt back in it. I have some pictures to help you more knowledgeable folks identify what the problem is and maybe provide me a solution. I am not sure if I can just tap the hole and put a bolt in it or if that is the wrong thing to do. Please take a look and let me know if you can help.

The hole is to assure that no oil builds up in that compartment. If it did it would flood the clutch. Tale a sample of the oil and put it on a piece of printer paper. then take a sample of the engine oil and put it next to the drip oil. If the same it is a rear main or cam plug leaking. If no match it is a TA seal or other transmission oil leak. In all cases it is a split of the tractor to fix it. Sorry about the news. Jim
Its leaking where I guessed which is bad news. If you plug the holes the oil will cause the T/A clutch to fail. Three seals can leak transmission fluid into there. Just as well replace all if going to a lot of work to split the tractor. center housing has to come completely out to repair all three. Just a guess but think some places will charge 1000 to 2500 or more depending what other parts are found bad.
A slight possibility that the hole had been plugged with crud and it some how opened up and let a few years of accumulated oil run out. If that is the case it would quit running out when it emptied the dry housing and probably just drip a little as you used it. I have seen them get pretty full of oil from slight leakage over the years when those drain holes plug.
