Merlo 32.6 dropping engine oil

[JMTHORNLEY]

All help needed

Merlo in the yard unexpectedly dropping engine oil. Never been a bother before and never seen it do anything like this?
All looks clean enough round the top end up pitch black so can’t see...

Anyone any immediate ideas what to look for in the morning? Main mover round the yard so f**ked without it

TIA

Hydraulic or Hydrostatic pump seal gone putting hydraulic / hydrostatic oil into the sump ?

Check hydraulic and hydrostatic reservoirs.

Great shout. Been a tad low on hydraulic oil but wouldn’t have thought that until you’ve just said. I’ll check that
