Bobcat common leaks?

[Impact-vector]

My machine has been drinking hydraulic fluid lately. I flipped the cab to find a few big puddles. I couldn't pressure wash it today but I'm wondering if there are any common hoses that rub together or thru? I have a 773 and the pressure line at the bottom of the hydraulic tank looked a little beaten Are the any common rub through points? Thnx

i know mine had a leak at the bottom of the tank. def pressure wash and you will be able to see exactly where they are coming from, there could be more than one

The control blocks are the most common source, then you get hoses that start to leak with age.
Get in there and give it a good clean, you will have a batter idea after that.
You can even get pump seals that leak too.

Most common other than drive hoses? Spool seals on the valve block and the Trunion seals on the pintle levers on top of the drive pumps.

My 843 leaked just sitting in the garage over the winter. Not run. Whats most likely there?

You will need to give it a good bath then look around. There are so many places they can leak, especially when they start to age.
