BRed Big Red Dumping Oil, Help!

[WYBR]

Hey there! So I just bought a 2012 Big Red about a month ago, from a guy who had recently rebuilt the motor. I've ran it here and there on weekends and it seemed to run good until today. I was pushing snow and the tranny started to slip, and I caught a whiff of hot smell, so I shut it down. Checked the oil and the dipstick was dry. I thought that was odd as I had checked the oil when I bought the rig and it was full. Went to town and grabbed some oil, put about a quart in and fired it back up. I immediately noticed oil coming out of the front of the motor so I quickly shut it back off. Pushed it into the garage with my truck and tore the seat and engine cover off. Turns out what I believe is the transmission valve body solenoid was just hanging loose, with the bolts backed out several turns. So, my questions:

-There doesn't appear to be a gasket or RTV or anything on the mounting surfaces. If this component sees oil pressure shouldn't it be sealed somehow?
-What are the torque specs for the solenoid?
-What other surprises should I check for before I start her back up?

Muchos gracias in advance for any help I can get... hoping I didn't burn anything up while it was getting low on oil. Engine never changed sound or anything so I'm hoping at least that is ok. Tranny, not so sure...

I am not sure on the gasket. A parts fiche should help identify what should be there though.

Is it part #12? if, so, there's a gasket.

Ah, yes it's part 12. I assume part 13 would be the gasket then?

Just saw the link to the parts site. Got it, thanks! Any idea on torque specs?

Sorry, that's the best i could do on a big red.

No problem, I appreciate the help! I'll see if I can look up a generic torque spec for that bolt thread and mating material. Thanks

We have a big red manual floating around the forum somewhere.
Look in the big red section.

After about an hour of scrolling I did find the part in the manual where it covers re-assembly of the valve body, and it just says "tighten the bolts" for the solenoid. Thanks, service manual. I then looked up torque specs for an M6 bolt and it was less than any torque wrench I have can really measure anyways. So I snugged them up and called it good. She's running and driving fine now, but I'll be watching oil level like a hawk now. Still seems to be burning some when cold as well.

Also, sweet mother of Jesus, that oil filter is in about the most convenient place possible... I already had the thing half disassembled and it was still hard to reach.
