ASV Leak

[QwikDraw]

I did find that leak last month. I purchase some ultra violet dye for the hyd oil and could see the leak. The valve block was not leaking, over time it would just build up oil and dirt. The leak was from the underside of the hydraullic tank. It had cracked between two of the hose mounts. It took half a day to get out and get tig welded, then another 6 hours to put it all back together the next day...not that fun.

1020 hours....still have not changed the tracks, they are going to fall off before I spend the 6,000 bucks to replace them.

It sounds like you might have a pinched O-ring on one of your drive motor hoses. I had a leak that sounds similar to you on my RC50 and there ended up being a small "nick" in the O-ring.

The ASV has developed a pretty good leak coming from the valve block but I can't tell where it's coming from. Any ideas or tricks to find the leak? What's the best way to start looking?

Where do I find a wrench to check the pipes for tightness? It's too tight for a regular wrenchg...

My tracks are about shot...major chunks coming off now...850 hours.

iF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE VALVE BLOCK BELOW THE HYD. OIL FILLER. tHE ARE THREE NUTS ON TOP OF THIS BLOCK. IF THIS O-RING UNDER THIS CAP GOES BAD OR NUTS GET LOOSE IT BLOWS OIL EVERYWHERE.
