Bob cat 743 leak

[hunter29078]

I have a 743 that has a slight leak. If sitting in the cab it puddles on the right side under the drive motor. Apparently the leak is not on the pressure side, what all can leak down with the unit not running? Any help is greatly appreciated

The only way to tell is pull the cover wash and see but the 743 is bad for the steel lines that cross behind the engine just fixed mine while your in there clean the rad and cooler and change ujoints will save you in the long run

Give it a good clean, especially around the control block, a common leaking point is the hose that runs from the under the control block to near the port block. The tight turn it makes causes the hose to crack over time and leak.
