11 Hours and coolant leak

[sashooter]

Was up using the tractor this weekend and I happen to look down and see oily spot on the floor. Great! After looking around it looks like it is coming from the EGR cooler. Right at the bottom where the cooler bolts to the exhaust manifold. I wiped it off started it up and ran it for about 5 minutes and it started to leak from in between the cooler and the exhaust manifold. just a drop on the stud.

anybody else have any problems with there's? I let the dealer know about it so I will have to go get it and bring it back down to the dealer for warranty. Oh well. Its a CK3510SE.

Why do you think it's coolant? Not sure why coolant would come out of an EGR cooler at the exhaust manifold, and if it did it shouldn't be oily...I think.

How hot are you running the tractor? Sounds like excessive idling/wetstacking symptoms. How does the exhaust side look? Any wet spots there or any leakage from the exhaust?

I don't think its wet stacking. I don't let it idle for more than a minute before working

I think its coolant that was mixed with exhaust gases. Doesn't feel like oil. I was wondering why there would be coolant coming from there but looking over it there is a T at the thermostat housing that leads to the cooler.
