I frequently have this problem and think it is due to the backhoe hyd.seals leaking by over time and trapping pressure in the hoses. The weight of the back hoe works against the system and squeezes the oil agianst the back of the male hose connectors. I have resolved by two means, lifting backhoe with my other tractor and using the back hoe levers to balance/bleed-off the pressure between the rams and also, wrapping a rag over the quick connects of the backhoe hoses and giving a sharp rap with a soft-faced hammer to vent off the pressure built up in the hoses. Some spray occurs but a good rag captures the most of it. A more perm. fix wcould include inserting a bypass cct/Vv or perhaps a vent cct/Vv.
