Oil leaks near Bell housing/final drive?

Posted by Ramon in NC on April 11, 2006 at 10:56:26 from (64.102.254.33):

I am seeing oil dripping from where the Bell housing/Differential shaft housing meets the break rod arms (near the center of the final drives right where the bell housings meets the final drive, not below where the gasket is). Strangely enough, the drips is on BOTH sides of the bell housing (just above where the brake rod arms are beside the final drive assembly?)
You can see from the pictures that it"s leaking enough to be a drip and it happens everytime I use the tractor now.

I am trying to understand what the cause of the leak may be. Unfortunately, it could be a number of things. Recent things I have done to the tractor
1. Changed Hydraulic and transmission oil
2. Changed left wheel (old wheel was totally worn down, new wheel is so new the left side of the tractor now sits 3 inches higher than right).
3. Ran PTO pretty hard and I do see some oil (although not a drip)

Does anyone have any idea what may have happened. I hate seeing a constant drip and not knowing what is leaking.
