oil comming out around the starter?

Cotter pin drain hole is clogged up so the flywheel catches the oil in the sump and flings it all over then the oil drips out around the starter. Look under the tractor and you should see part of a cotter pin sticking out. Spray in and around it real good with carb cleaner and wiggle it and free it up. Maybe even poke a small wire up and around it. Do not have your head under it when you do that because you might get a face full of oil and junk

LOL, yep, listen to Old. He's right.
I've posted before about my 5000 when I got it.
Antifreeze spraying out a seam neat the top of the bellhousing.This ain't good.
Drain hole was plugged solid, and there was a gallon or 2 of antifreeze in there getting slung around.
(freeze plug on the back of the engine under the flywheel failed)

antifreeze, engine oil, trans oil, mousepee, you want that drain open!
