The saga of the 4050 continues...

In the images above (I couldn't get them to upload to this site, despite using the image uploader many times in the past), you can see where a previous owner has used some kind of putty to attempt to stop this leak. It's a pretty substantial leak, and appears to be leaking even when the tractor isn't running (the oil spot on the dirt floor of my garage has gotten bigger and bigger as the tractor has sat the last two weeks).
What could be the cause of this leak, and will I need to split the tractor in order to fix it? I have the I&T Manual (of which I have read a substantial portion, even with my limited technical and mechanical knowledge), but while I've split a tractor before, it was an 841 Ford, and nowhere *near* the size nor complexity of this machine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
