My new (7 hrs) 3033H sprung a leak! Two hydraulic lines running laterally under the transmission with a welded on support clamp/bracket, and the forward line sprung a leak right where the bracket is welded to the line.
I'm a retired USAF aircraft maintenance chief, and any time a hydraulic line needed support, it typically had a removable adel or line clamp. Vibrations can cause forces over 10Gs, that split sheet metal and rupture lines under pressure. Anyway, I notified my sales dealer who had ordered the assembly. Has anyone else experienced this failure? When the new part gets installed, I'll look to make this support better if this will be an issue in the future.
