Out working on one of the many projects I have in the pipeline and noticed some hydraulic fluid on the lower plate of the BH. I was moving boulders and placing them as a retaining wall when I noticed the leak. On further inspection I found it was the hydraulic thumb pedal. The thing that gets me is it is buried behind ALL the other hoses. Do I really have to take off most of the hoses to get at the thumb connection? I read in the manual that holding down the thumb pedal could cause the relief valve to open, could that be my problem, I do tend to hold down the pedal, my bad habit.
