Haven't run the tractor in a couple months, started it up and I've got fluid everywhere. What is this overflow/blowoff hose behind the engine?

I can’t tell for sure but I’d check your oil, I’m guessing that’s coming from the pcv and you have water in the oil.

Looked like fuel to me. There is a fitting up by the firewall on the back of the engine. Very hard to get to. I had a friend with smaller hands than I have reach in and tighten a clamp.

Might be the same issue.

Oil looking good. Also drained the fuel filters. Lower one had sla bit of algae in it, the upper just had a little trash.

The culprit is this 90 degree elbow that sits between the engine and the firewall, it slips onto a nipple on the top of the transmission. I was tugging at it with some long needle nose pliers (trying to trace it) and accidentally pulled it off, I have no idea how I'm going to get it back on there. :| I guess the fluid is hydraulic fluid and it's from a vent.
