Mike,

A 1976 should be a 3600, but still the same tractor nonetheless.

"where a metal arm from the tire joins the main frame"

Assume that is the front axle.

When you say right side, I assume sitting on the seat.

Heres a few things.

1. Powersteering or manual? The cylinders are too far back to be leaking near the axle.

2. If powersteering pump leak, it should be on the left side of the engine.

3. Your oil fill is just behind the axle centerline on the right side.

4. Is the front crankshaft seal leaking, and "slinging" oil around.

5. Do you have a cab? Some have an optional cooler up front. Lines come in the on the right side from behind the radiator.

6. Do you have a loader w/a front pto pump?

This is just what I am thinking off the top of my head.

Dumb question? Are you sure it is hydraulic fluid leak (powersteering, hydraulics) or could it be engine oil, or even engine coolant.

A picture would help a ton.

There isn't too much on that tractor that is too hard to fix out in the woods. Just need to know what it is.

Just my ideas,
Rick
