I have a 2013 Scag Cheetah, 27 horse Kohler Command Pro. I have it all stored away for the winter in my shed. I went in today and noticed a small puddle under the left hydro. I attached a picture to this post. Upon further inspection there seems to be a small leak coming from a seal in the pump.
Last year, when I fired it up after being stored for the winter, I was pleasantly surprised with a bad oil pan gasket, and a bad crank seal. I know that cold temps can cause contraction in the seals. I’m wondering if my hydro leak is a result of the cold. Any advice on how to proceed, should I get it fixed now or wait for it to warm up and see then if the seals are good? Thanks in advance

Once thing like this starts to leak it is best to fix instead awaiting when need the equipment.
