BMW1 44 #1 Posted June 17, 2019 I have a small oil leak on a D180 with a K532. I say small leak because if I clean it up, it will take about a day for me to actually see/feel the oil on the engine housing below the PTO and that is if I do not run it. Doesn't seem to leak any faster if I start and run it either, although, I rarely run it more than 5 or 10 minutes because I am cleaning it up. No idea what the history of the tractor is other than it looks like someone maybe put a K532 on it. I can see the K532 stamp on top of the block and it has an oil filter. However, the PO said it was a D180, tags are all gone. I put dye in the oil and the oil appears to be coming out at the bottom and right in the middle of where the PTO comes out of the engine. I looked at the D180 parts diagram and the Kohler K482/K532 parts diagram - page 30. I can see the rear closure plate and the oil seal. Is there a gasket on the rear closure plate? Is that leaking or is it the seal? Is it a big deal to replace the seal? Is it taking the PTO pulley off and replacing the seal and/or rear closure gasket? Thanks.
