Hi all,

I have a 2004 tc35 manual (12/12) with about 2600 hours on it. Over the last couple of months, I've noticed that I am VERY SLOWLY leaking a small amount of hydraulic/tranmission fluid out of what appears to be the seal surrounding the driveshaft in the rear of the tractor. And it is isn't consistent, sometimes it will leak (and I will find a small amount of fluid under the tractor in that area) and other times there will be no evidence of leaking. Is this even worth attempting to fix? And if it should be fixed soon (because it's a sign of something bigger to come), how complicated a job is it? Something for the dealer, or something I could take on? Many thanks for any sage counsel!
