Hydraulic leak?'s

[Fuddy1952]

I have a new JD 3038, Woods BH75 backhoe that I just connected and used, the first two small jobs I noticed hydraulic fluid puddles, maybe 6-8 oz., seems to be at the connections. I always rag clean before attaching, and I can't really see anything dripping. Third job I wiggled connections and seems ok. Curious if it's normal?
Pictures you can see where draw bar is wet.

I've found it is almost impossible to disconnect the hoses without getting a little hydro fluid seeping out of the female connector especially if the fluid is warm.....but not 6 - 8 oz's worth.......so no it's not normal to get puddles.....I'd clean everything up and then put the connection under load by doing something and then check again.......if it's leaking then call the dealer up who sold it to you and tell him to come out and fix this brand new machine as somethings loose or theres a pin hole in one of the hoses......Jack
