B1550 - Hydraulic Leak at FEL

[kubota_CT]

First time posting, I have a Kubota 1550, 900 hours. After heavy snow removal, found this leak the next morning. Quick releases seemed Ok, I don't think the leak is coming from there. All original parts from 1989, nothing has ever been replaced. Not sure where the leak is coming from, but somewhere in the control assembly. Any ideas?

Use a degreaser and get all the Hydraulic fluid off of it.
Start tractor and look for leaks.
If nothing, start with one joystick motion checking for leaks.
Do this through all the motions of the joy stick.

Check the allen head screws on the valve end caps and make sure they are tight.

That oily hose might have sprung a leak and may be spraying the valve when under pressure. Dont use your hand to check it!!
