[QUOTE="brdgbldr, post: 126731, member: 7474"] Take a look without the machine running first. You may need to clean with a degreaser before you can find the leak or you may get lucky and it will be obvious. I had a pinhole leak once in a line that I had to remove lines one at a time and then put air pressure to them before I could find it. Do not run the machine if the hydraulic fluid is low. If it gets too low you could do damage to the pumps. Also, it can be very dangerous to look for leaking hoses when they are under pressure. There is enough pressure in these hoses to cut off limbs or inject you with oil. Better idea is to clean, run the machine without moving anything, shut it down, and look for the leak. If you don’t find anything the first time, then start it up again and use one function, shut it down and look for the leak. Continue this just using one function at a time until you find the leak.
