My rear main is leaking on my 8070, I am getting a small oil drip of motor oil out the hole in the bell housing. The strange thing is the drip gets worse after I shut the motor off. I am not losing that much oil, it makes more of a mess than anything. Questions Why does it leak more after the motor is off? Oil pressure? Also, do you have to split the tractor to replace that seal?

Thanks

Flywheel is sturing oil running, then it runs down when shut off. Yes it has to be split to replace. MACK
