Axle seal leak? L3600 gst

[kongmen]

I was looking at my tractor last night and noticed a small hydro leak at the right (looking at the rear of the tractor from behind) rear axle housing where the frame meets the axle. The fluid is coming from underneath the 6 bolts that hold the axle to the frame. Anyone know if this is something a person who has SOME mechanical skills (just not with tractors) and a decent amount of tools can fix? Thanks for any replies.

Have you thought about putting a couple spoonfulls of brake fluid in to swell the seal?

On this leak I think it is coming from the two bottom bolts. I tried putting some of that white Teflon tape on the threads but no go. I think I'll try some rtv next.

Assuming you have rear remotes you may
have a crack in one of the hydraulic lines.
