It was fine last November and then I parked it for the Montana winter. Been fighting batteries all spring and just ordered some new ones and when I was out there I seen fluid on the ground. It covered the leaf spring and axle. So, I take it that it drained almost all the fluid out. No fluid on top half of box or above. What could of blown out in -20 deg setting? I seen new boxes are a grand. When it stops snowing, I will go clean it off and add some fluid and get a better look.
@Csm Davis probably has some take off boxes or you can rebuild it.

Its what I was thinking. Is there kits available, Or is it a try and match them up to something?
@Swamp Donkey has rebuilt one I believe. It's just a Ross box. There are kits out there but may be few and far between.
@fuzzytoaster may have one as well
You may also check with I think it's northwest equipment in great falls. When I lived in Montana they had some stuff

Have you checked your hoses to see if they are the problem?

Om going to clean is off when the snow melts next week and fill is up and check it. Looks like its only on the bottom and leaking where the box splits.
