There is typically one special “torx plus” screw that holds the timing belt cover on, seems like it’s at the bottom of the cover, unless someone previously threw it away. It’s simply a notched, flat, timing belt.

What kind of oil does a bobcat use?
The chain case level is the pipe plug in the very front of the machine. Like barklee, I use AW hyd oil in chain case and hyd system, either AW32 or AW46 for higher ambient temps. And I would advise checking out that oil cooler and making any needed repairs.
