My WD started leaking this afternoon right from the foot clutch plate behind the engine maybe 5 bolts and a drain plug, one bolt seems to be a thumb twist bolt. A couple of the bolts have oil dripping from them after running it today , I have tightened them and they still leak. Help!! What is my next step.

YOU HAVE SOME GOOD ANSWERS ALREADY, I WILL ADD THQAT YOU NEED TO GET INSIDE THE PLATE WITH THE THUMBSCREW AND GREASE THE ZERK ON YOUR THROWOUT BEARING BEFORE MORE WORK WORKS ITS WAY INTO YOUR FUTURE.

I have had my WD do the same after a hard work out, after a cool off and ran again for awhile, it quit. The tractor has not done it since. I think maybe the seal needed a little use after sitting all winter or may be longer.

Check the engine oil level. That should, if I remember correctly, be a dry housing. Oil there is most likely a rear seal. If it is the rear sael, that requires the removal of the engine and flywheel to replace.

It is indeed *suppose* to be a dry housing. The weak spot on the WDs however is the front hydraulic reservoir seal (just behind the engine clutch) and not the rear engine seal. He'll still need to pull the engine, and clutch, and throwout bearing guide to get to the bad seal. A temporary fix until then is to add spacer washers between the access plate and the housing so the leaking oil can drain out of the housing easier... and a bucket to catch the drips. (My bucket is christened the "Valdez III" for the number of times I've forgotten to remove it before driving the tractor out of the garage.)
