Yes and all new pick-ups leak- just ask the dealer that sold me mine. No it doesn't have to leak, but the question is where you're at on a cost-benefit scale for tearing into things and spending money to fix leaks. Eventually you'll to have to deal with more than gaskets, seals and packings. You'll find a bearing with little bit of wear so the shaft moves around just enough to prevent the seal from sealing OR the journal the seal runs against has just enough wear to prevent the seal from working. The fact is it doesn't make economic sense to make major repairs on a lot of old tractors, by the time you get everything fixed you'll have more money in it than it is worth. YES most of the folks on this site ENJOY working on tractors and get a sense of accomplishment in making a old tractor perform like new. Others know after going through a tractor and investing a lot of time and money they know that tractor will serve their needs for as long as they want. Totally rebuild a Farmall M and you'll have more in it than it's worth BUT if you do it right it'll cost you less than a new tractor and probably run just as long and will be a heck of a lot easier to fix along the way.
