I have noticed a slight hydraulic fluid leak on my L2550. It is coming out of this bolt/plug which has a "pin" in the center. The "pin" is loose and can be pushed up. Anyone know what this is and why I'm getting hydraulic fluid here?

Thanks

Ok, thanks. It is hydraulic fluid (nice and clear); not water or oil. Is this something I should be concerned about? How is the fluid getting into the clutch housing.

Hello
The transmission housing should be dry. You eather have a seal leaking in the front of the transmission or the power steering is leaking into the clutch housing. Eventually the clutch will become oil soaked and start to slip.
Good luck Lance
