Moosefd, I'll jump in here so maybe somebody else will correct me
I think you'll find a plug, maybe a pipe-type plug but perhaps with an internal hex or sq drive on the front of the Bobcat. This one is the chain-case level check (and somebody help? Is this the fill hole, too? It'll work for that. . . )
The issue with the chaincases reportedly is
water. There are various ways to check for this. After running the machine--not just the motor, but lots of movement so that the chains agitate the oil--pull that level-check-fill plug and stick a clear vinyl hose in and syphon out some oil. If it's milky . . . you've got water, and should drain the chain case and re-fill it. If you don't agitate the oil by driving the machine, the oil might look clear.
There should be a small access cover under the bottom of the skid plate. Most Bobcats have (2) drain plugs there--one for the fuel tank and one for the chain case. Typically the plug in the steel tank is the chain case; the one in the plastic tank is the fuel drain.
Buy a new seal or seal and plug for the chain case drain if you drain it.
Something else I've learned from guys on this forum: If the Bobcat has spent much time outside, water can get in from the top of the chaincase, in front of and under the seat, between the operator's legs. Water can apparently can make the chaincase appear full or overfilled. If it's oily around that gasket, water can get in, too. My top gasket needs changing, so I'm gonna pull the cover and sample the oil (?water) in the bottom of the chaincase from that vantage point.
Hope this helps a little. Some other guys and gals here know more than me, so we'll watch for other posts.
