what is going on with these gaskets (1950 8N)

I have been trying to get the tractor ready to paint. The weather has been too hot and humid to paint, and I had to go out of town for a week and I came back to this. I have been doing some cleaning but I had not done the final cleaning yet but it looks like the gaskets are leaking. Could this be caused by the wax and grease remover I used (PPG DX 330) softening the gaskets and wicking the oil thru them?
I had put the tractor together without any sealant on the gaskets and I used it for about 10 hours and did not notice this weeping until I started doing the cleaning. Do I need to take it apart and put new gaskets on it?
I am going to post this on the Painting Forum also.
 
For some reason I can't post pictures like i have in the past. the gaskets that are "leaking" are the hydraulic pun base, and the PTO gasket, it was also happening on the top cover gasket but after cleaning several times that seems to not be doing it anymore. It looks like it is seeping and then spreads up the housing a half of an inch or more. I will see if i can post pictures again later.
 
Here are the pictures Sorry for rotation issues but i finally got them to load with Chris's help
