Case 70xt Hydraulic Leak

[edfenne]

i have a 2002 70xt. it has developed a hyraulic leak. I power washed it clean and let it run but can't seem to find it. after you run the machine for a while the belly pan will have a bunch of oil in it. I have taken off and check the steel lines that run under the motor thinking that maybe they are cracked but they seem to be fine. Any ideas?? thanks.

My guess would be an o-ring in a valve body somewhere or a loose or broken clamp on a hose. But if you are loosing a substantial amount of oil the there are dyes to can put in the oil. Has there been any work done to the machine maybe something wasn't tightened correctly? Steel lines can rub and leak fluid especially when machine is running and vibrating. This kind of leak is hard to find.

i have owned the machine for 3 years and have had no work done to it. i will check into getting some dye. thanks.
