Oliver 1650 losing hydraulic fluid under floorboard

As the title says, I have hydraulic fluid leaking at a very good rate from under the floorboard and runs down and along side the drain plug on the left side of the rear end near the bottom. No I haven't even opened one of my manuals on it. Seem to be chasing my tail as my mom had a stroke and a farming buddy is in the hospital getting a mechanical heart. The tractor needs to be split anyway as the hydro for the transmission was leaking and through advice here, shifted it into the other position and nearly eliminated that leak. This new leak will empty the hydraulic reservoir before leaving the driveway it is that bad. Is there a vent under there to check? Just wondering if anyone had a quick solution. Yes, I am going tonight to look at a replacement for this tractor but thought I would ask the brain trust here first.
 
There's a line just under the floorboard that's most likely leaking. If you look, you'll see where it goes in the
front of the casting. Take the battery off and unbolt that left floorboard for easiest access. I had one blow out
recently and it was blowing against the back side of the battery.

As for the Hydra Power having a problem, DO NOT split the tractor. You just lift the engine and 2 speed out of the
tub frame.
