Leaking Hydraulics

I noticed a trail of fluid and when I checked my hydraulic level , it was low and had water in it. I'm going to change the oil, but want to figure out where the leak is coming from.. Since there's no visible external leaks, I'm thinking the weep hole; the cotter pin is gooey. Is there anything in particular that I should look for? I was using my rear scoop pretty aggresively just before I noticed the leak. I was chipping away at some hard dirt mounds, getting some speed up in reverse and "plowing" the scoop into the mound.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Chuck

Put some clean paper under the tractor and wait for the leak to show on the paper, then you have the location. If you are getting a "trail" of oil then it should really show and be wet around the spit pin if this is the case, as usually all you get is the odd drip from there, so it doesn't really show on the outside. More than likely it is from the split pin though as it is the usual place on this tractor.

Forgot to mention, it's a TO-35

I can only think of 2 places to get water in the fluid. Gear shifter cover, and dip stick. Oh wait, I have a TO-30. not sure if to35 is the same.

You can get water in trans/hydraulic fluid by just condensation also, sittin' high and dry in a shed.
If the oil comming out of the weep hole, it's either the rear main bearing seal on the engine or the input shaft seal on the transmission. Either way you'll have to split the machine to fix it. Make sure you have the shop manual before you spilt it as you have to follow the instructions from it closely.

Thanks for the reply, Paul. It does stay outside, so that would make sense. However, I'm more concerned about finding the leak. Since I think it's coming out the weep hole, any suggestions on how to trace it?
