The first time I changed the oil in mine I got a leak too. I found the axle housings that bolt up to the main housing were both very loose. I tightened them back up and have had no problems since. It probably wouldn't hurt to check the tightness of all the bolts while you're under there.

I drained the gear oil out of my old E14 and replaced it with new gear oil. Thought I was doing my perfectly running tractor a favor. Since doing that it has leaked gear oil pretty good which it never leaked before. Do I need to tear the whole rear end out and replace the seals? (Something I've never attempted) Where does one find such parts for these old peerless rear ends? Thanks in advance!
