add hydro fluid-to the floor it goes?

My GD charriot sr right side has no forward/back in it. just picked this up knowing it needed work. I noticed hydro tank was way low. I added 2.5 qts to get it 3" from top. within minutes I had a 1-2ft round big pool under the mower. The pump is wet on sides and back as far as I can tell but can't see well until I get it up in air. Will bad seals run it out that fast with it not running? If by luck..Its a hose or fitting..Think the low oil damaged that hydro when stopped moving mower on that side? If seals, will a seal kit most likely fix it? Thanks as always.

well it's toast most likely..

After getting mower up in air I was able to look closer..The oil is running right out of the top..The bearing is gone and 1/2 play back aned forth. I imagine this play done some damage inside or the chewed up bearings. I'm just going to look for a replacement (61" GD charriot sr)
