Help with my hydraulics

Alright I have a few things that have me wondering. My Ford 3 cly 4000 is leaking where the clutch pedal goes into the tractor and the 3point hiccups the whole time it is running. I have two sets of remotes that wont extend or close the cylinder on my pole lift.

Well the symptom of the 3-point is almost certainly a failed seal on the lift piston, or a leaking thermal relief valve if it has one. Also possible failed seal on or near the lift cylinder. All of which requires the raising of the lift cover to repair. The reason it is doing this is because the internal position linkage is correcting the height every time the hitch drifts down. Regarding the remotes not working, we know there is oil flow through the valves because the 3-point hitch is working. Procure a 3000 psi gauge and bush it down to fit your male remote tip. Plug it into any of the remotes and operate the appropriate valve. That will tell you whether the tractor or the cylinder is the problem.

The only ideas I can think of for the oil leak is that the rear main of the engine or the transmission input shaft is pouring oil all over the clutch and throwing it everywhere. If that were the case there would be oil dripping from the weep hole on the bottom of the bell housing.
