My Mahindra 4510 loses transmission fluid regularly. As much as a couple quarts in a week or so. Cannot find a leak or a drip or a wet area anywhere, parked or running. Curious as to where this fluid could be going without a trace that I can find. Thoughts. Thanks.

Do you have any implements hooked to your remotes that may be leaking?

Check the engine oil level, the hydraulic pump may be leaking into the engine crankcase.

I have checked that and the engine motor oil is just where it needs to be.

I can’t imagine where it’s going if not on the ground or in the engine, a mystery to be sure.

Do you check it with all the implements and 3 point hitch all the way down?

How long has it been losing it? Just a stretch, and I don't know if it's possible on that machine, but I've read of the trans front seal leaking and it filling up the void where the clutch plates are. If the trans cases are sealed together they could hold a good bit.

I really can't say for sure. Only noticed it in the last 6 weeks. Although I regularly check engine oil and radiator fluid amounts I did not check trans or front diff fluid often.
Over that time period and to bring it up to full I think I put in more than 2 gallons. If it had an external leak I am sure I would have spotted it. Hopefully if your thoughts are correct I do not want it to get on the clutch plate etc. If that got oil soaked and I needed a clutch replacement that would involve the costs of splitting the tractor etc. Hope that is not it but unsure how to check. Will just have to let it set until I can get it into the ag shop. My big trailer unfortunately is being used as a work bench/storage area right now so it needs cleaned off and my electric fuel pump on my truck just went out and they cannot replace it for a week or so.
Appreciate all the thoughts of everyone on this.
