Anybody know where where tranny vent is on a BX25?

Been watching a bit of a leak down around the transmission housing sides and bottom. I'm hoping I just overfilled with SUDT a bit. Must be losing it only when the engine is running, as I clean it off and don't see any the next morning. Hard to tell exactly where it's coming from, but appears to be up above somewhere, mainly in the front I think (on the cooling fins opposite the fan). I'd like to be able to pinpoint exactly where it's coming from...any ideas? Thanks.

Hope that overfill is all that it is...but you may want to check the SS lines. I would hope Kubota fixed that problem before moving to the BX25 line, but may not have if you got the early ones.

Hey Bota, I did get one of the earlier ones.

What problem are you referring to? Sounds like you had it too? I did a search but couldn't find anything. The only other leaks I've had were just a couple of hose fittings which needed a little snug up.

Ok, I see it now...Bruiser's thread right on the front page. I'm pretty sure this isn't my situation, though.

It only did it while the system is up and running (i.e. pressurized). Laying overnight, it no longer did it but there would be a puddle there. First time it was coming down in the front, making me think it was from the power steering. So after the dealer replaced the gasket in the front, it leaked in the back. That's when they called Kubota and found out that it was the incorrect beveling that cut into the gasket. Just keep monitoring it.
