I am leaking hydraulic fluid when going down a fairly steep hill or backing up the hill. Put a new cap on the reservoir still leaking. It leaks enough to drip on the shop floor when sitting. Worked on flat ground pushing snow and did not leak. Only leaks when going up and down hill. Any ideas?

Check to see if the chaincase is over full.
what is most probally happening is your leak is leaking into the belly of the machine and the belly is full of mud blocking the drain holes , so the oil builds up and when you go on an angle the oil will overflow the belly, it could be a lot of rain water mixed in making it look a lot worstthan it is --------- lift the cab and clean out the belly and the hydraulics to locate the leak
