Hi, Does anyone know if there is an overflow or vent tube on the front differential of a BX2230? I changed the fluid and overfilled it a bit and noticed some oil drips on my floor from above the center of differential area. I drained some oil and cleaned the area to see if it gets better, It's hard to see where its coming from so curious if anyone can advice here.
Thank you, Dave

There is no overflow but there are a couple O rings that seal the pivot bolt. That is supposed to be adjusted on in a while. With your loader lift the front axle off the ground block the frame and remove the cotter pin and snug the pivot nut up. If it continues to leak you may have to replace the O rings or if it has a lots of hours you may have to do the pivot bushings. You can also buy a vent for that model from Kubota, we had trouble with leaking wheel seals until we installed them. Hope this helps Barry
