Hydraulic pump leak?

[GregMVT]

I was taking a possum that had got into one of my traps, they are set around my chicken coop, over to bury with my FEL and I noticed the loader was jerky when raising or curling back. I checked it out after, fluid was down a couple of quarts. Filled it up but it was still doing it. I noticed fluid leaking when I raised it. It seemed to be coming from near the pump near the motor. I have a CK30, gear drive. Anybody else have a problem like this? My 2 year warranty runs out next month. Dealer is supposed to come pick it up, sometime, hopefully it doesn't take 9 weeks to fix like it did a year ago when a synchronizer went in it.

Should just be a seal. Shouldn't take long to fix either.

I spoke with the dealer the other day. He said I had hit the metal lines and it pulled on a hose behind the pump and tore it.
