    2003 Bull leaking oil. Head gasket?

    My 2003 awd Bull is slowly leaking oil. By the time I need to top it off, it's time to get an oil change anyway.
    WWMD?
    No longer stuck.

    Your reservoir is over full. You need to drain it. This maintenance action is the same for all makes and models.
    On the underside of your bull you will see where the leak is coming from, grab with a strong grip and give it a dozen or so spirited tugs and the spigot will appear, a couple more tugs and the reservoir will empty. Your bull will love you forever.
    Please take photo's and post a TR for the DIY crowd.

    Did you check to make sure your "Cowexist" brand is properly aligned?

    Unlikely the head gaskets. I'd look at the rear main seal for any leakage or build up.

    Good call. It's probably just an exhaust leak.

    I believe there several DIY videos from the PBS show "All Creatures Great and Small" that will teach you how to manually adjust any issues with the rear main seal. Looks like arm length gloves are recommended.

    It's pretty easy to make an internal adjustment to make sure things are tight.

    I'd recommend trading it in on a German model...perhaps a Limousin(e).

    It makes perfect sense...until you think about it.

    I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.
