remote slow leaks

[enie01]

My remote has slow leak when the mower hose is plugged in and mowing. Not sure if this is normal due to the bumpy field when mowing or this should not happen at all on a new tractor?

Pictures is attached, this is what it looks like after 8 hrs of mowing.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Unless it dripping, I would not worry about it. I get a nice coating of oil every time I pull apart a quick connect. That is what you see, more than likely.

It drips slowly, like shown in the picture where there's a drop in the making at the bottom of the remote connector, and this is after cleaning up any residue from the leak when connecting or disconnecting it. I'm just wondering if the remote is supposed to have any hydraulic oil seeping out when connected to an implement hose.

Mine don't drip, but they do collect grass and dust like yours. There is an o-ring on the male end. I had one leak there. Check the tightness of the fittings at each end and for trash. If that doesn't work, you will have to replace one end or the other. I guess would be the implement end, it's the cheapest.

Depending on the drip, I might just let it go.

I will check on it. Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it.
