Allis 7060 rear hsg oil temp warning

Hi All,

First post, but I have been reading other topics here for a while. Lots of knowledge and I appreciate other posts that have helped me diagnose issues I have had.

I have a new to me 7060 black belly. Recently have been using it to pull a John Deere 750 no-till drill. The other day the “rear hsg oil temp” warning light came on. I idled down and when I got out of the cab oil was dripping out of the seal between the engine and bell housing (just forward of what I assume is the flywheel inspection hole). It stopped dripping after maybe 30 seconds to 1 min. I needed to get a field finished so I kept running it that afternoon, but checked the engine oil level periodically. Oil level barely dropped if at all even though at some points when I checked the dripping was almost a tiny stream. I assume the tractor will have to be split to change this seal? If I do that are there other seals or items that should be checked/ replaced? And if I keep the oil level up, is there harm in running the tractor as is?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Thank you for the quick reply. Definitely engine oil, I caught some in a bucket to check.

So the issues are unrelated, I just noticed them at the same time. Probably a dumb question but what triggers that warning, just the hydraulic fluid getting hot?

Was a hot day and the drill has hydraulic markers and down pressure. So that sounds like the original issue, but the light stayed on (even when I started it the next day). I will have to check the wiring and sensor there.

And I will look into the crankshaft seal you mentioned on my engine oil leak.

Thank you for the advice!

Any oil leaks in that area can be hazardous to the torque limiter.
