I started to notice some hydrolic leakage underneath the front axle today, looks like it came from the hub, possibly brake but not sure.

I need the tractor now more than ever, can't wait ten days for repair from the dealer. Do you think I should have it repair right a way? the drop rate is about ten drops a day.

Thank you for any inputs.

Make sure that the dip stick used to check the fluid level is tight. Also, while at it check the fluid level....sounds like you might have a bit of extra fluid that might be leaking out after it gets hot..... a few drops a day should not compromise your front end.
As an after thought, make sure that the fluid is really from the front end and not leaking from somewhere else. Might be a hydro line for the FEL....just some thoughts....good luck!

Yes double check the hydro connections. My BX22 couplings on the HYD sucked. They are the old ones and leaked like mad. I had them all replaced.

I did try to look all over for leakage like you've said, but to no avail. I mean there is nothing on the top of the axle, nothing on the hydraulic hoses from the FEL, I mean, I went over every thing in the vicinity that might leak but nothing to be found except for the very bottom of the axle, and guess what the dealer can't even find the root cause, I think it has to come from the hub of the axle, I will try to remove the tire and do a close inspection and let you all know what it is.

there was another axle leak posted about 1 or 2 months ago here. Maybe do a search and see if you both had the same issue?
