[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 8311, member: 82"] If you can take some pictures of the hoses it may help to determine just what they are. The engine should have a hose coming down from the rocker cover that is open, this is a breather tube and is meant to be open. You do get a little oil seepage out of this tube. The other one *may* be a drain tube for the engine oil, some have a hydraulic hose connected to the sump with a cap on the end to make changing engine oil easy and relatively mess-free. As for a FAQ, we haven't set one of these up, its on the lift of things that should be done though. When i bought my first machine, i had NO clue what so ever about hydraulics or diesel engines. Then my only experience with petrol engines was in the form of single cylinder ones. It doesn't take a lot of knowledge to work on these machines, just use common sense and if your not sure ask. In most cases someone else had had the same problem. The only safety warning i can give is to be aware that diesel and oil under high pressure can penetrate the skin which is a bad bad thing. The leak could be a gasket on the chain case but it could be a loose fitting too. Lift the cab and give the machine a good cleaning. This way you will be able to see where the oil is coming from.
