I think I have a leak of hydraulic fluid on my NX6010. It's kind of wet in the back near the 3rd function valve and it smells, to me, like hydraulic fluid. A few questions:
1) If it is the 3rd function, where would I see the level dropping? On the transmission lube indicator near the PTO shaft or somewhere else?
2) If it's a 3 point lift cylinder that leaking, same question as above? Or is everything in this tractor connected to a single hydro pump (and therefore there's only one dipstick to check, that one near the PTO)?
3) What would be the symptoms if I am leaking hydro fluid? Anything gonna blow up?
4) I did pull the dipstick near the PTO and it looks low to me, how "level" is level for checking this dipstick? I'm not sure I'm 100% level and don't want to overfill it if I'm just misreading the stick.
Thanks, any tips/tricks, please feel free to add!
