I have cleaned it thoroughly several times and checked all hoses and none of the hoses are leaking around the pump. If I let it just sit and idle, no fluid shows up on the pump but when I operate it at all there will be fluid that shows up on top of the pump and running down the side of it. I have contacted a local John Deere service center and they have told me that you cannot rebuild/replace the seals on the pumps on these hydraulic pumps, that you have to just replace the pump itself. The total cost of repair estimate I have is just shy of $10,000. Somehow I don't believe that this is the case so I figured that I would post on here to see what your guy's thoughts are on it. Thanks in advance</p></blockquote><p></p>
