My BX2680 (50 hours) had a massive hydraulic leak yesterday from area of the rear axle. Dealer, 50 miles away, suspects rodent damage to 'return hydraulic hose'. Any thoughts about DIY fixes?

Sunspot activity is interfering with my clairvoyant powers. Do you have a backhoe? Pictures please.

Stop suspecting. Where is the leak? Clean everything and then run it for a few seconds if you cannot see the leak source right now.
