my 18 is leaking oil... BAD

Was out plowing this morning trying to beat the frost and was making good progress, until I heard what sounded like the fan slowing down but the engine speed was holding steady. I stopped at the end of the field and pulled back the weather break to see oil dripping down the font of the block, mostly on the filter side, but as far forward as to coat the pulleys (and the fan belts) no idea where the leak is coming from right now, but after getting her home and pulling the dipstick the engine oil isn't even touching the stick anymore (I watched the oil pressure the whole way home)

Any ideas where I should start looking? I'm gonna have to look at it later because I gotta go to work soon, but I'll have to pull the side panels and that all off to get a
good look.

One thing it could be is a loose turbo oil supply line or one that has a pin hole or crack in it. At least it would be easy to check.
 
Ah yes, since the belts are covered with oil and the fan slowed down I would say the bolt holding the front pulley on came out and the pulley came loose> NOW when you answer back tell us the serial number of the tractor and the engine since it is an 1855. The first fix was the lock plate package and a longer bolt. Any idea if your tractor had that?

I had that happen with my beIarus once.
BoIt had come out and puIIey came off and exited trough the side(that's when I noticed sumtin was up)
I never found the boIt back but It never Ieaked a drop of oiI when driving the miIe back home with it and with the puIIey Iaying in the cab. :lol:
 
Dad got the numbers for me-

247788-685, model number 685 22592

No idea what if anything it had on the pulley. Did have the engine out and to the local AGCO/Oliver dealer a couple years ago when the wrist pin bushings started to fail. I thought they did any updates then that may have been needed. It is also a cooler block, but they had those by then didn't they?

I had a chance to stick my hand by the pulley and there is a plate there with 2 bolts capturing the center bolt. tried wiggling it but didn't feel any movement.

I finally got the pictures off my phone. The puddle is what ran off after being shut down for an hour or so.
