Noticed a pool of an orange colored, non-oily liquid on the barn floor on my T-250 this morning. Has dripped enough to leave a small crater in the dirt floor in the past 3 days since I've used the machine last. I assume it is anti-freeze but everything in the engine compartment is dry - including the hoses. The drip is coming from a weep hole in the frame itself and is located on the right rear area above and to the left of the track sprocket. (Drip is coming from frame and not he track area) Coolant reservoir is only maybe a pint low. Also considered rain water but it is stored inside and hasn't used been in the rain for maybe 2 weeks. Any ideas appreciated . . . .

Dan, is that just factory-fill Bobcat fluid that is orange? I have bought Bobcat fluid in 5 gal and 2.5 gallon containers, and it has always been water clear.Unless you filled the cooling system with Dex cool, the coolant isn't orange. Factory fill is purple that turns brown over time. Bobcat hydraulic fluid starts life orange. I would flip the cab and look under there.
Hydraulic oil can be what ever color the manufacturer want to make it. The bobcat hydraulic/ hydrostatic is orange when new.Dan, is that just factory-fill Bobcat fluid that is orange? I have bought Bobcat fluid in 5 gal and 2.5 gallon containers, and it has always been water clear.
