Newbie here. I have a bad hydraulic leak upon engaging the left-side track forward. I took plates off to get a look at the drive valve. From what I can see, which isn't a lot, the fluid forms drips on the bottom center of the valve body rather than on fittings. The drive valve is Bobcat's 6680245 Fluid reaches the ground near the left drive motor. Dunno if it traveling down tubing or (quite likely) if there is a second leak there. Can valves be reconditioned? Any thoughts on where to find one? Thanks.
 
Best thing to do is clean all the oil off the suspected component and start fresh. If it is obvious that it is coming from the valve body, then yes the valve body should be rebuildable. Bobcat should have as seal kit available.
If all else fails, or you just need assurance, use a engine oil leak detector dye and a UV light. It will tell you exactly where the leak is coming from. You can leave the dye in the hydraulic system after your done.
