Changed the Hydro oil in the B7100 yesterday. Ran it a few minuets, then drained out about a pint to bring it down to the full mark. Has a new fill cap, after it warms up good it starts to leak oil out around the fill cap. Is this a built in breather of some type or is there another breather that may be plugged? Found nothing in either manual about a breather. If no breather why is this happening? Thanks in advance for any info on this.

Not sure if it will help but check kubotabooks.com and look for the WSM for the 7100. I think maybe part 3 might help as it is listed as page 99 from first part of 3.

thanks much. I have that manual and have read through that section a couple times. found nothing mentioned about a breather. Just the fill plug and oil level check.

The breather is under the seat.
And yes it's probably plugged. ;)
