Before going in after the rear main leak... First be sure it is engine oil, could be transmission oil. Either would drain out the same place. Transmission seal is much easier to replace, but still requires splitting the tractor.

A badly leaking rear seal can sometimes be a symptom of a more serious problem. If there are other problems, the seal will fail again. Might run it awhile, see how things look. If no other problem arise might want to try a rear seal. It's a rope seal, it may have been improperly done previously, especially if the engine has recently been gone through.
