Looking for advice on assessing 2003 B7500 HST
Of note:
Mid pto drip, right side front axle transmission fluid leak, hourometer may not be reading and coolant temperature gauge not operating on control window.

What exactly do you mean by "assessing"? Looking for resale value? Repair costs? Repair procedures?

Most common cause for leaks that you describe would be worn seals, but of course anything up to and including cracked castings are possibilities.

The hour meter and gauge issue may well stem from a common cause. I'd look to the fuses first.

Thanks for the tips guys.
I looked into the leaks and based on the slow drip nature of them, I used blue devil seal restorer. After treatment and use a few times they have ceased. Only thing left to work on in the hydraulics is "bucket drop"

Have the coolant temperature indicator working again but not hourometer and now tach. Looking at fuses today
Thanks
