New 1526 HST

I thought I had the same problem on my 3016. Turned out that the oil dipstick was not pushed in all the way. Because the oil was new, it looked just like hydraulic oil as it cascaded onto the hydraulic fittings making them to look like they were leaking. Two small spots on the garage floor about 10" part made me think I had two leaks.

That's what I have, I'll definitely be checking that out. Even though I have checked the oil(especially since I noticed the leak) doesn't mean I got the dip stick in all the way back in. Thanks.

Congrats on your new machine ... leaks seems to be a recurring theme on Mahindra machines.

My new max 26 XL has 10 hrs now, and not a hint of leak. Very solid machine, so far.

After the dealer attempted a couple of fixes, the final fix worked. Turned out to be a pinched o-ring in a fitting leading to the FEL. Only other issue is a bleeding cruise cylinder. Won't stay where you lock it, slowly slows down. Should be an easy change out.

This is a VERY common issue. That o'ring is very finicky and it has to be put together just right. It never causes a HUGE leak, but a nuisance for sure.

Aaaaaand it's back. A few hours of brush hogging and it's leaking terribly again. I'm glad I have a good dealership thats willing to work promptly to fix problems.
