I have a S250 with about 5900 hours on it. Within the last 2 years the front seals on the S250 have begun to leak. We did the repairs, but the leaks keep coming back. We have repaired both front sides twice now, and even recently did the seal savors with the new seals. Well, they have started leaking for a third time. We can't seem to make it 100 hours before the seals begin to leak again. We get the parts at our local Bobcat. They recommend bringing it into the shop. It was a $320 bill to calibrate a joystick that took 10 minutes, I would like to avoid bringing it in if possible. This S250 does a lot of turning with round bales in cattle yards. My question is some of the oil getting past worn bearings? Are we filling it with the wrong oil type (universal trans hydraulic)? We can't seem to find any major problems to the axle shafts, but this is going to become a headache if we have to keep replacing both front seals every year. Anyone have any advice on something similar? Thanks for any advice in advance.</blockquote>
