Our M5400 with the LA1001 loader has had a history of weak hydraulics in the 20 or so years we've had it but it's been a tank for us otherwise. Over the years we've fixed leaks just about everywhere on the tractor except for the loader. Never had any issues with it until this past weekend. I was doing some bushhog work and every so often the hydros would lock up the steering, cut power to PTO, etc. We serviced the entire hydro system about 100 hours (year and a half or so) ago so the filters, seals, etc should be fine. When I parked the tractor for the night I noticed hydraulic fluid leaking from both lifting pistons on the loader. This was a new one for me, so any ideas of what's broken and how to repair it would be appreciated. Pic attached as well.
