I started seeing hydraulic fluid on the garage floor under by BX 25. I thought it was coming from one of the hydraulic lines under the floor so I removed the floor board on the BX 25. None were leaking but I did find hydraulic fluid leaking at the front loader valve. I tighten the bolts which slowed done the leaking quite a bit. So my questions are how tight can you make those bolts on the loader valve? Is there a rebuild kit for the loader valve? Are there gaskets and/or o rings inside the loader valve? A new one costs $518. Thanks.

I had a similar on my BX24.
If it is still under warranty have the dealer fix it. Mine took 3 times to figure that the tubes were the problem.

I have also had to replace the O-rings myself twice. It is PIA but you don't have to remove much.

Pack your patience.

Thanks for the replies and info. Mine is not under warranty, as I bough it in 2009. I guess to fix this right you have to replace the lines hooked to the loader valve. But thanks for the seal kit number.
