As some know, just got a used Gehl 5625 recently. The other day I spent quite a while digging a 5-gal bucket full of old oil-soaked gunk from the bottom of the engine compartment. There was rotting leaves, twigs, and even corn husks in there, along with LOTS of oil. While I'm sure the engine likes having this new-found air flow under it, I now have a bit of an oil leak, almost certainly coming from a pump or motor. Will have to raise the cab to gain access. Don't really have time for that nor a place to work in out of the elements.
So here's my question - I need to do some soil work before Winter, but really don't want this oil to get into the soil. Would it be possible to put some cat litter or something under the engine to catch the oil for a while? Just looking for a quick temp fix - not a long-term solution.
I also know of a product called Oil-Sorb or something like that, but have no idea what it costs or where around here to get it.
