Hello,
Last weekend the PT developed a small leak(O.K. not that small) while doing some digging at a friend's house. We thought we found the fitting that was leakng and tightened it. Today, While doing more work at his house, it began leaking again, aparently not from the same fitting, but it got even worse. So when got it home, I took it apart to see what I could find. I think it is one of the case drain fittings on one of the wheel motors or one of these 3 hoses that intersect right under the pump, where i can't tighten it. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif I've also began wondering if a wheel motor can leak? Maybe that's where the oil is coming from. It was so bad to day that a puddle would form if I stayed in one palce for more than 30 seconds. I figure I lost about 3 quarts, more or less. Anyone's ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
