Bobcat oil leak

[rich3930]

I'm having a terrible time locating the oil leak on my bobcat 773, I have replaced three lines so far with no success ,is there a dye that can be added to the oil to pin point the lead. It is difficult to work on and i can"t run the machine with the cab up. I would appreciate any offers of help.

John Deere sells a hydraulic dye. I do not recall the P/N. but parts department should know.

The common way to find leaks is to start with everything clean. Most leaks don’t flow uphill so it’s typically possible to locate them.
