I have a 2013 B26 with 512 hours on it. It drips about a spoon full of hydraulic oil per day. I can稚 tell exactly the source, but it appears to be running down the large square oil reservoir underneath.
I致e looked around the filters and the square oil reservoir and I didn稚 see anything obvious.
Anyone have experience with a B26 oil leak?
Any ideas where I should check next?
Thanks

Buy a couple of cans of cheap engine degreaser at WalMart. Clean all of the oil away with degreaser and soap & water, then you'll be able to see where it's leaking.

Then after it dries...roll it in flower and look for a wet spot...:D

sorry could not resist...!

seriously though...it seems if it was on a pressure line there would be more oil so the obvious things to check are the return lines and where they connect to the tank...

Good ideas.

I will try narrowing the leak down this weekend.

Thanks,
