- 1988 ford 555
Hi. I was digging stumps today and the machine had a tiny bit of noticeable drag to the normal smoothness of the boom operation. I moved the machine to go to another stump and noticed a puddle of yellow/milky fluid under tractor. Coming from 4 bolt inspection plate under trans, behind torque converter. The most common answer is torque converter seal. But would that affect the hydraulic operations? Also, when not revved up and in use it was a clear very very slow drip. Once I began to use the boom again and got off to inspect again, it was a steady gush and once again yellow/milky in color.
Please advise.
Thanks
