Leaking fluid from the pump resavoir into the oil pan.

Steven Engholm · Nov 6, 2021

Thanks for getting back to me. With the pump out I can still put oil into that area where the gears are that run the pump.The pump itself gets it's fluid from a tank up by the control levers. I have 3. Bucket lift- tilt- and the guick attach. There must be a bad seal or worse yet a crack down in there. I hope I am explaining this correctly. The distributor runs off the pump if that is any help. .[/u]

The pump is the only connection between the engine and the hydraulic system. The pump has a seal on both ends of its shaft. The
front has a drive gear on it that meshes with the engine's cam gear. (which can be seen looking into the mounting hole for the
pump/distributor combination. The front seal is either an O-ring type, or a conventional steel shell lip seal. Often the shaft is
worn enough to require a speedy sleeve repair. If you are moderately skilled you can disassemble the pump and replace the seal.
If not there are new pumps available for big bucks that fix the issue, or have the seal replaced at a hydraulic specialty shop.
