This is not the usual "Leak Down" that people have had problems with at their 3ph lift arms where over time they will slowly leak down. I noticed yesterday that my tractor was leaving a spot of oil near the rear when it had been parked. It appeared to be near the left side of the 3pt hitch. I placed a piece of cardboard under this area overnight and, sure enough, there was a spot the next day! Today I looked under there. I saw one drop which appeared to be coming from the insertion point (on the tractor) of the 3ph left lift arm. I've had a slow hydraulic leaks before but they have usually been from a loose hose fitting which is easily fixed. I've never seen this problem before. I don't know if it makes a difference or not but I have had the lift arms in the lowest position when I parked it and noticed this. Tonight I parked it with the lift arms raised and put another piece of cardboard under it. I kinda doubt this is going to make any difference. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas.
