My 2320 has only ten hours and the 200CX loader is great! However, I noticed a small amount of hydraulic fluid under the right arm of the loader. The leak appeared to originate near a fitting which was tight and not actively leaking when I re-started the tractor. I had put the loader to the test the day before by moving a large piece of concrete for my neighbor. The dealer says that sometimes a seal just doesn't seat properly and this could be the case and they will fix if it persists. It has not leaked since. Is the dealer's explanation possible? Why isn't it now leaking?

It may need to wear in ot 'seat'.
My b2150 with a dual loader would, since day 1, slowly drop or lower with the engine off.
Last year with 900+ hrs, I switched the fluid to Schaeffers hyd. and it now stay put !!!!!!
Great hydraulic fluid.
