It’s pretty bad and unfortunately probably normal. What I mean to say is that the brakes (and brake compartment) should be completely dry. This is an old posting so I’m assuming you have realized by now that you have a leaking seal.
Don’t know how I missed this one, but Little Grizzly is correct, it has to be a dry compartment. There are drain plugs in that compartment that should be removed and checked for oil periodically, about every 200 operating hours, or at every oil change. The steering clutches and steering brake bands are supposed to be dry running. Depending on how much oil came out will tell you if you have to replace the brake bands because they could be saturated with oil. If the steering still functions normally, you are probably ok then. To determine if the oil is coming from the transmission or final drive check to see what type of oil it is (very heavy oil is from the final drive, assuming it has the correct oil) or put dye in the transmission oil.
Hey Grizz, how is the Cat doing? Still have it? Good to hear from you. :yes:

Hey Bob, long time. The Cat is running great. So great that I’m running out of things to do! Jobs that took me a day to do by hand take less than ten minutes with that thing. I’m slowly getting the hang of dozing. There really is no substitute for seat time. I’ve watched videos, read books, asked questions on forums but it all goes out the window when you have the sticks in your hands. I’m slow as all heck though. I filmed myself to see what I was doing and I could barely watch it. I was screaming at the screen to “just hurry up!” I’ll get there… eventually. Sure is fun learning though!
How is that cement mixer project coming? She running yet?
