Tosefta for Zavim 5:8

הַנּוֹשֵׂא אֶת הַמֶּרְכָּב וְהַנִּשָּׂא עָלָיו וְהַמַּסִּיטוֹ, מְטַמֵּא שְׁנַיִם וּפוֹסֵל אֶחָד. פֵּרַשׁ, מְטַמֵּא אֶחָד וּפוֹסֵל אֶחָד. הַנּוֹשֵׂא אֶת הַנְּבֵלָה, וְאֶת מֵי חַטָּאת שֶׁיֶּשׁ בָּהֶם כְּדֵי הַזָּיָה, מְטַמֵּא שְׁנַיִם וּפוֹסֵל אֶחָד. פֵּרַשׁ, מְטַמֵּא אֶחָד וּפוֹסֵל אֶחָד:

If one [a clean person] carries something which was ridden upon [i.e. a saddle] or if he was carried on it, or if he moved it, he renders unclean at two [levels], and disqualifies [terumah] at one [level more]. If he separated himself [from the source of uncleanness], he renderds unclean at one [level] and renders unfit [terumah] at one [level more]. If one carried the corpse of an animal or the water [mixed with the ashes] of [the red heifer] sin offering of which there was sufficient for a sprinkling [because ashes of a red cow are mixed in] of an amount that can be sprinkled, he renders unclean at two [levels], and disqualifies [terumah] at one [level more]. If he separated himself [from the source of uncleanness], he renderds unclean at one [level] and renders unfit [terumah] at one [level more].
