hydraulic leak

[6thgpSF]

My 863f has a hydraulic leak.I raised the cab to see if I can pinpoint where the leak is but can't figure out where it is.I'm thinking if I can start it maybe I can see where it is.Question,can I start it with the cab in the up position?Any help would be greatly appreciated..russ

had a leak on my 420, not huge but enough to leave the lines wet, I pressure washed them then when dry dusted with flour, started it up for a short time, the oil soaked the flour turned to be a crimp end leaking

FWIW...High pressure leaks can be very dangerous...prudence is paramount to avoid injury...

Good Luck...
