Anybody seen this!?! I just started to leak oil from the gear shift lever! It looks like it is coming from where the lever pivots. Any fixes?
Does it sit outside?I sure dont see a vent to speak of under the seat. My fluid is at the correct level and I changed it 3 months ago.
I have seen vents that looked like a curved metal tube, and another that looked at first like a regular bolt, but on closer inspection, it had a baffle arraignment on it. They plug up with dirt & grease, or mud daubers plug them up. Maybe a manual will show where it is, or someone with your model will jump in.I sure dont see a vent to speak of under the seat.

That cap is for the transmission/hydraulic fluid.
I keep my fluid level just enough to cover the shaft (you can see it thru the hole).
One thing to note about that cap... it has a vent hole. If it gets clogged, when the tranny gets hot, the pressure will push the fluid back thru the shift levers.
This happened to me when I first got my L2000 and the vent hole in the cap was so packed, I couldn't even tell there was a hole there!
