Depends on the trans model. RTL is ussually mounted on the top cover RH or passenger side.
JonJon78 Thanks this. -
tommymonza and Goodysnap Thank this.

Tis your heat exchanger. Long 1/4 extension can reach some or a 5/16 gear wrench is handy as well. Wonderful Paccar doesnt care which way the clamp faces before the cab gets placed. Glad you found something.
JonJon78 Thanks this. -

Black tube in the center with 2 ports , 5/8 hoses and the clamp center of pic.

I would just suspect a loose clamp at this point with that style heat exchanger. I try snuging, if the leak persists just go in and change both hoses and clamps. Your floor plate/shifter cover will offer somewhat better access to the top of the trans if needed.
JonJon78 and spsauerland Thank this. -
I m thinking it wouldn't be a bad idea to do a pressure test once a week on a old tractor for preventive maintenance .
I have had a pressure tester for over 45 years I used onn boats closed cooling systems .
Very handy tool. I think mine is the same brand as the radiator caps that begin with am E.JonJon78 Thanks this. -
