[QUOTE="DR BOBCAT, post: 37253, member: 4370"] I am new to this sight but have worked for Bobcat for many years and now am in business for myself for over two. The problem is going to be your carrier seals. If you are continuosly adding oil but not seeing a leak lift your boom up and have an assitant put the proper boom stop in to prevent injury. Now looking at the front of the machine you will see a 1/2" drive plug in the center of your chaincase go ahead and take it out useing a breaker bar or impact gun. If hydraulic fluid poors out of this then the carrier seals are shot. What happens is the fluid is leaking through your drive motors and then through the carriers which are what the drive motors are mounted to. When this happens the chaincase overfills and has no other place to go and enps up leaking around the carriers and/or out of the top cover plates of the chaincase. If the chaincase is not overfilled though then that is not your problem. Let me know what you find. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
