Raise / open the cab, open the back door & remove any inspection covers on the side of the frame. Put a bright shop light down in the belly of the beast & run the machine. Top off the hydraulic level & keep a good eye on that.

cab tilting on them is a procedure requiring a special jack, look at the photos in the media section of these forums to get a idea of how to do it. In the meantime lift the seat and latch it up and clean everything , then you will have some chance of seeing the leak.
