J D 5575 Massive Hydraulic Leak

[vortechx]

I have a 5575 that leaks Hydraulic fluid from the bottom of the machine.I took the seat off and tried to locate the leak by operating the lift arms but I still cant locate the leak.Is there a recurring problem with the 5575.Possibly like a hose from the hyd.tank that might wear from movement.It should be a simple fix but I just cant locate the leak.

I think your machine is basically the same as my New Holland since New Holland made the Deere's at that time. I had one of the metal tubes lines up above by the base of the boom cylinders break and the oil came out the bottom. The hoses and tubes are rather close on the left side. Take a look in that area.
