I recently borrowed my Farmall M to a neighbor who needed it to run a small PTO driven saw mill. He reported that after using it for a couple days, some oil blew out the bottom of the tractor, roughly the part of the tractor frame below the gas tank. I went over to look things over, and noted that the engine oil level is OK as was the gear lube in the rear end. The hydraulic oil was below the dip stick. We added oil to the hydraulic system, and started the tractor. It did not appear to leak anywhere. Yet the neighbor said oil had been expelled quite forcefully, and I could see there was oil on the ground under the tractor, but it was tough to determine just how much.
Anyone have any idea what might have caused the oil to shoot out?
