What sort of oil , engine, transmission or steering?

transmission oil
goes down about 5 litres every 2-3 weeks
clearing snow
seems to only be leaking when running

Sorry for delay
Can be either the pressure pipe from the main hyd pump leaking or either of the seals on the gearbox input shaft would be my initial guess, so remove the cover that has the shifter lever on it under the floor on the left side and see if you can see where the oil is coming from. It should be quite obvious with that amount of oil leaking
