[QUOTE="st0ck1ng, post: 142624, member: 25251"] Realize it has been along while since posting. Were you able to fix the problem? Assuming not: Clean machine thoroughly, that alone may enable you to see the leak. If not add motor oil dye to the hydraulic system and after 5-15 minutes it should show right up using a black light, etc. - will have to calculate the ratio dependent on your hydraulic capacity, mine is a 22 gallon system, so takes quite a bit to get it to show. - IF the first thing you see is pooling, shut down as soon as you see evidence, the bigger the pool the harder it can be to pin-point IF leak is under something that does not allow visual confirmation. Additionally, this works best if you can eliminate bright sunlight, if I cannot get mine in the shop, I throw a tarp over the work area (my NH L785 cab does not tilt, so still have plenty of workspace).
