Engine oil pumping into hydrolics

[Horseshoe#2]

I just bought a rhino 552 tractor. After running it for a short time it is pumping all the engine oil into the hydrolics tank in the rear. What could cause this ?

Does the tractor have hydrostatic drive?

NoDoes the tractor have hydrostatic drive? No it does not have hydrostatic.

No it does no have hydrostatic.

No it does no have hydrostatic.

Then there are only two ways engine oil can migrate to the hydraulic reservoir. 1) Via the hydraulic pump, but this is next to impossible because of the pressure differences. 2) Via the crankshaft rear seal, through the transmission/differential, and into the reservoir. Is the engine oil low? Is the transmission oil low? Does the transmission oil seem to contain engine oil?

Personally, I don't think you have engine oil in your hydraulic system.

You are gonna have to tell us *why* you say the engine oil is pumping into the hydraulics. Did the engine run dry and the hydraulic tank overflow? Please explain.

Yes checked oil and trans levels. Both were where they should be. Brush hogged for about 1 hour. No oil on dip stick in engine trans was way over full.

Sorry I guess engine oil is all going into the transmission not hydraulics. Dip stick on side below the seat?

Are you sure the engine oil isn’t leaking?
