BX24 HST Leak?

[Ngiovan]

Hey guys,

Did a HST Service last week, and I’ve noticed a Leak since. Maybe an overfill?

Seems odd that it just started

Where is it leaking from? What does the dipstick say?

He has two videos linked (see the orange words).

It is overfull, leaking under the “middle” of the tractor.

I suggest he gets the level at least down to the max fill line and verify the vent is open. Then try to clean it with something that will remove the leaking oil. Then see if it is still leaking.

Add the UV dye and see where it is leaking from if you want to try that, but it seemed pretty obfuscated by the tractor wiring and the floor board.

Thank you. I didn't realize the orange words were links. Good to know

It's probably leaking out the vents because you overfilled it.
And please quit calling it an HST service, it's not.
All you did was change hydraulic filter and fluid!

Very common for this vent line to go bad and leak.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll get it back to level tomorrow and report back.
