JCB 532 Load-all Dont want to pull the motor!

Hi all - have a JCB 532 loadall that just started spewing coolant out from behind the block i think. I see the ear of the transmission is broken off and let the motor down a hair. Thought it was freeze plug that went, but seems to be coming from higher place. The broken ear has been that way for some time i believe before we got it. Is there any fittings back there that could have snapped off? Therr is absolutely no room to see anything. Maybe the motor was rubbing on something and wore a hole through? Any experience with these things? Any info is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Depends what engine you have JCB or Perkins but there is a coolant hose for the heater which runs near the bell housing and another that joins a steel pipe . Access is limited though you might end up removing the coolant pack so as to gain access to the pipe in question .

    It is a perkins. Havent got a chance to look at it again but when i do i will start with removing the coolant pack. Im sure that will help a bit. Thanks for the info.
