Engine leaking oil

[Karlibob]

I just purchased a TX25H this week. I’m happy with the performance but I have had a couple of issues. The first was the 3 point hitch would not operate. I contacted Summit and they were quick to help with a solution. The travel lock valve was frozen. I had to remove the cover plate who’s was removing the know, removing 2 bolts and 3 plastic push pins. I used a pair of pliers to rock the flexible line back and forth and it freed up and the 3 point dropped down and is now working. The rep thought that was the issue up front and turns out he was right. Second issue is that I have a drip under the engine and over the last 24 hours it has turned into a small puddle. Has anyone experienced this?

Typos above.
I had to remove the cover plate by removing the valve knob and then I removed the bolts and push pins.
I’m not sure why the above text happened the way it did.

I thought I had an oil leak, and it was the dipstick rubber plug not sitting in the dipstick tube all the way. Oil splatters out after a little operation and gets on the bottom of the engine, and starts dripping. I would check that first.

I will check that, but I went out to start it today and the battery was dead. I tried jumping it but to no avail. This has happened twice now. Im taking the battery out and going to running's tomorrow. This is getting old. I will check the dip stick tomorrow.

Thanks Amfab

Found out yesterday that it's the pinion oil seal on the front. The dipstick would have been great.

Welcome to TBN.

Hopefully your leak is covered under warranty (with it being this new it sure should be), what is your dealer telling you?

oh, sorry it wasn't simple

It is covered.
