Hopefully it stays that way. Thanks for the update.

I stopped into the tractor store to pick up trans/hyd fluid a few hours ago. He said that he had a tractor in earlier this week that had blown out the seal due to the same bug that plugged my vent tube. They split the tractor and replaced the seal. I was really sweating.. I can't imagine breaking my tractor apart as new as it is lol. I'm going to be googling devices that bugs cannot plug to put on the vents going forward.

My Mahindra 4510 was losing hydraulic fluid big time but I never could find the source of the same. It has been in the shop over a month but it may be a parts issue. I once had to wait about 9 months to get a replacement glass door.
Hope yours works out OK.

Dirt dauber had plugged the vent tube for the transmission housing. Could that have caused this? I put the plate back on and cleared the vent tube, I'm curious to see If the leaking continues.

Good find! I had a portable air compressor that started vibrating more and more, along with making more noise overall. Ended up being mud daubers plugging up the holes in the air filter housing. Air compressor was always in the truck, garage, or in a house job site. Never kept outside or anything like that.
