I have a Case 2590. Recently, hydraulic fluid has been leaking out of the dipstick hole at the back of the tractor. I"m talking about a constant running and if you pull the dipstick out, it pretty much pours out. I changed the filters and it"s still leaking. Could it be that the 2 o-rings that seal the dipstick are worn enough for this to happen? It"s almost like it"s under a little pressure. Will new o-rings contain some pressure? I"m sure hoping that it"s nothing bad/expensive to fix. Any ideas what I should try to remedy this? The hydraulic system seems to work ok otherwise. Good brakes, good steering, good shifting, no problem lifting plow, etc. Sure don"t want to take it to a mechanic unless absolutely necessary. Awfully big tractor to haul and the mechanics around here want an arm and a leg to work on anything. Please help if you can.

Ok, let me tell you how this has developed just in case someone else ever has this same problem. I tried looking for the transmission vent and haven"t found it yet. However, thanks to a suggestion on here, I decided that it just might be able to breathe through the fill hole. I took a push on type oil filler tube breather from my Massey Ferguson 750 combine and put it on the hydraulic fill hole on the tractor. I tried plowing a bit and everything seemed fine. I continued and finally plowed 40 acres and didn"t lose one drop of hydraulic fluid. Evidently that"s the problem. Now if I can just find the clogged vent, I can be back to normal. If I can"t, I"ll just buy a couple of new oil filler push on type filters and continue. I"ll put one on the tractor and have the other for a spare. If someone happens to know the location of the vent or filter that might be clogged and how big it is or what it looks like, I"d sure like that information. Thanks for all the help.

It"s not over full. It just pumps it out. I think it would pump the hydraulic fluid (oil) out completely if I ran it very long. It looks as good coming out as it did going in. I"ll bring the fluid level into the safe area between add and full on the dipstick and if I run it any or work it, it pumps it out of the dipstick hole. I"ve been told that it could be because a breathing device is clogged and I didn"t know where it was. I"ve been told where to look for it so I"m going to try that next and see. I"m guessing that could be it because I"ve certainly never cleaned and/or replaced it and my guess is that the previous owner didn"t either. It probably finally got dirty enough that it couldn"t breathe and started pumping the hydraulic oil out. I sure hope that"s what it is. That"s a fix I believe I can take care of myself and not too expensively. I love this tractor. It pulls like crazy and sure cuts my plowing time down because I can pull a bigger plow at a decent speed.

The transmission/hydraulics will need a breather someplace. Perhaps it has become blocked, or used as an oil return recently? Too much oil? Does it leak with the filler open?
