Default 1211 Leaking Hytran oil

I have a 1211 tractor that I swapped an M18 into. I also changed the hydraulic oil and filter with Cub Cadet spec fluid. I used it to clear my driveway with the 450 blower a half dozen times this past winter. Now it's started leaking hydraulic oil under the rear end. I checked the level on the dipstick and it's a little high. Could it be just bleeding excess? I looked underneath with it both running and not running and I can't pinpoint where it's coming from since I also have a fluid film undercoating on it. It's not spurting out anywhere while it's running. It's leaking pretty good when it's parked though.

You might want to clean things up under there by your favorite method and then run it to see where it is coming from.
Otherwise we are just grasping @ long distance straws.
Several places it could be leaking.
You might get a better diagnosis that way.

As George said your best bet would be to clean the rearend as good as you can with some degreaser and a pressure washer to help pinpoint the leak, it will be much easier to find when it's clean and dry.

I doubt the problem is that the level is too high. Do what George says
cause there is no way to tell exactly where until it's cleaned. Common
places are the relief valves and the cork gasket

Probably the relief valves. Mine seep. Wash it off good and see.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
