Bingo. Fully assembled coupler in the bucket emits _some_ oil, but just a bit, and nowhere near as much as when the coupler wasn't on. (Also the loading is still slow) Seems like a smoking gun, so I'm gonna try to get to my local Kubota dealer before they close. Thanks again, Dan - you're...

Ah, yes, that makes sense - this should either 100% point to the coupler or 100% rule it out. Will go do that right now.
