Hydraulic leak when I use PTO

[willy851]

I have a L4701 with a hydraulic leak that I can't seem to find. It doesn't leak when using the backhoe or FEL. The leak isn't coming from under the seat where the extra valve attaches. Everything is covered with oil, so it's impossible to locate the leak. I use the PTO for bushwacker, rototiller and post hole digger.

Degrease & hose it down. Let it dry and dust it with flour. Then run it for a short period of time. The flour will highlight the leak path.
