BX-25 hydraulic fluid use.

[old fool]

Yea, I guess if I keep on doing what I'm doing, I'll keep on getting what I'm getting. I wonder, is there some kind of dye to put in to help see where it comes out? That stuff is kind of clear and with old eyes, well you know the drill.

Yes, there is a florescent dye that you can add to the hyd and use a black light to see where the leak is.

You can get it at NAPA. Can be used in many different oils/fluids.

Just add the dye and run the hyd system, and shine the black light over all hoses, fittings, cyl, etc.

Next stop NAPA. (Tomorrow, actually.)

I'll post how it works.

Thanks -

Post some pictures/video of the leak if you find it.
