[QUOTE="tndigger, post: 67957, member: 2254"] Had similar thing happen on a skid steer a couple of years old. I called the dealer and talked to a mechanic saying my hydraulic oil is overfull and foamy. He said check hoseclamp tightness on return lines if one gets loose it can suck air into the system. Sure enough one of the hose clamps was not loose but broken. I assume it had been overtightened. So I put 2 clamps on this connection and checked all the other clamps. On this same machine I was cleaning out the debri under the engine and found 5 bolts. Just about all the exhaust manifolds bolts had come out! This machine was probably made on a Friday. Been a good machine other than these two issues. [/QUOTE]
