I posted a while back about my curl cylinder leaking and got the information I needed to repair it this winter (don't need another project now). I then read about someone having a leak stop on its own after working the loader a bit. I was cleaning my tractor the other day and noticed that my cylinder had stopped leaking. I guess that solves that... I'll wait until I have a leak again before buying any parts...

Cheers!:thumbsup:

Maybe something (dirt) was sticking the control valve open a hair?? Who knows but I once had a tire stop leaking all by itself - I guessed the valve had dirt in it and eventually blew out when I inflated it.

I wish some of my repairs would fix themselves. I usually turn a simple repair into one that is much more complicated than I originally thought. Live and learn.

Possible there was a small piece of debris stuck under the rod wiper area and it worked its way out. This would allow a small amount of oil to leak/weep past the wiper.
