Howdy all. Model # 107.277700 Kolher 18HP and 50'' deck. Bad leak at trans oil reservoirs apparently since new from what P.O. said. He had Sears work on it twice under warranty but to no avail. Any ideas on a fix. I don't see any cracks. Thanks all

Replaced oil in right hydro and then cycled it a few times with the release lever out. Mowed for about 30 min and no leaks :thumbsup: Prior to the oil change it would start leaking within 5 min

They might have been using too thin of oil. But who knows. Keep us updated if something changes.
