While bush hogging the pasture this weekend I realized there was radiator fluid leaking out of my hydraulic oil cooler. I didn't hit anything in the pasture. It is just open field. There's no way this thing would leak unless it has a hole in it, right? I'm trying to decide if I should try to get it repaired or pony up the $350 for a new one.

It started leaking out of the front coils on the left side of the hydraulic radiator. When I turned it off the hydraulic fluid had gotten hot enough that it didn't want to let the bucket down.
