Have a 1996 B2400 HSD Kubota with a front mounted snowblower. Last year when I installed the snowblower and raised it about the third time, noticed that there was hydraulic fluid dripping off the radiator grill. Also some hydraulic fluid under the cylinder. Couldn't fond the source of the leak. Used it last winter without the leak showing up again. Just finished installing the snow blower and had this one time leak again. Couldn't find out where it was coming from. Did a test---put paper towels around the top of the cylinder, the hose connection to the cylinder and the air bleed (?) on the top of the cylinder away from the hose connection. Raised and lowered the blower three to four times. Everything dry except trace fluid on the air bleed. Attached a thumbnail. What is the threaded thing attached to the cylinder opposite the hose connection (that i'm calling an air bleed)? If this is an air bleed, could it be sticking and releasing fluid? Does it require any adjustments? Hope someone can help solve this problem. Thanks
