CT235 mid leak

[catdozer]

On my 235, I have a leak coming from the center of the machine that after further inspection looks like it's coming from the inspection hole (about 2inches round) also it looks as if it's weeping from the top,(need to take seat off for better inspection) wondering if you guys/gals have seen this? Looks like some have said need to split the machine in 2 for a o-ring?

It actually seems to leak the most when parked. When running I don't think it drips as much.

I have a similar leak. I actually have two. One on the hydo shifter. Not able to cure after several tries. I also have a small leak where the rear shaft goes in the central housing. I am learning to live with the second one. Looks like $600 to $1000 repair.

I have a CT235 and the only problem I have had with it, is the bolts between the transmission and rear end loosen up and allow it to leak underneath. I have tightened the bolts (about a 3/8 in. bolt) twice in 4 years. When I get time I'm going to clean the area and Loctite the bolts. When tightened up I have no leak. JP
