my 2007 335 has a leak from swing motor/carrier. Pulled the belly plate off and noticed leak from center of carrier.I bought a seal kit and pulled the floor plate in the cab to scope out before undertaking job.Few ? Is the leak most likely from the swing motor or carrier? Does the carrier get hydro fluid from the motor? Is there anything that can be replaced without removing motor/carrier? Should I remove motor carrier and have pro repair? Thanx

The swing motor carrier doesn't get hydro fluid at all...just a bearing and gear to turn house (swing motor sits on top). If hydro fluid is leaking, it is coming from swing motor...jm2c

Might have to take back what i said...the manual says to put in hydro fluid to cover top bearing in carrier when reassembling, so maybe it gets fluid from motor...hard to tell in manual. I see an o-ring between motor and carrier...maybe it leaking through that. Easy fix as far as things go... If leaking out bottom, then it sounds like carrier needs to be rebuilt.
