There has been a small bleed of fluid from the depth of my new machine. I washed and sprayed it out a couple of times to make sure it wasnt left over fluid spillage from assembly. It wasnt so i went in to find it. It was a return hydraulic line at the bottom of the hydro tank between the tank and the cab. Had to take some stuff off to get to it. It was so loose i could move it with my finger tips, because thats all I could get on it because of where it was. Funny thing is its the only fitting that didnt have red inspection paint on it.

About have to have the skills and the tools of an aircraft mechanic to work on equipment these days. I know I lack much of the specialized line wrenches used on modern hydraulic systems. Had to make a few.
