1541 - opinions on oil leak?
.
Updated at post 18
The oil seal behind the PTO is leaking. I removed the PTO and started the engine to see exactly where it was leaking and the seal was spinning inside the closure plate. I haven't removed the seal yet, but I'm hoping there is no damage to the plate. If there is damage to the plate, will a new seal still be able to work? Is there any kind of sealant or something I should use in the cover if it's worn? I've ordered a new seal and was hoping to hear from somebody who has had experience with a spun seal before while I'm waiting for the part to arrive.
