Anyone have problems with the fan leaking? Its leaking a little and blowing it out the side vents. Must be a seal on the fan motor? I just never heard of one leaking before

Wow thanks man!! I'm going out right now to see if its wet up there

usually leaks on end where the little tubes go into the big tube and the the fan sucks it down and out the sides on my s-185

Everything dry as a bone up there. What tubes are you talking about? All I see is one line going to the inlet side of the oil cooler, then the outlet hose, everything is dry

the lines that the fluid actually flows through from side to side they are about 3/8" around the fluid is really clear and hard to see, the tubes on the side make up the frame of the cooler I guess you would say mine have all leaked at the point where the little tube is spot welded to the 2" tube

I checked all of those, I ran the machine for a while. Its not leaking there. can't really see where its coming from. Its just blowing a little out both side vents, and some is just dripping down through the fan shroud under the cab

what machine and what series? I had fan hydraulic lines leak on K series. Had numerous coolers leak down and blow out the sides like kubota described. I also had leaks where the return lines enter the oil cooler. They swivel and the seals/o rings can wear out. If you have rear hydraulics, the diverter box can leak..at least mine does/has since day 1.

Seals in the fan motor. But I didn't replace them yet because it seems to have stopped leaking. I had an axle seal leak, and that stopped about a year ago and never leaked a drop yet. And I have a hydraulic cylinder leaking, and that stopped by itself and hasn't leaked in a year. Seems like this machine fixes itself

Or your out of fluid, or they are just waiting for the right timing and then they will all start again at the same time.
