Sorry - I posted in the wrong area and do not know how to delete this thread. I moved this to Kubota Owning Operating. Hi everyone. I am lost and not sure what to do. About a month ago my FEL center hydraulic cylinder was leaking and with the help from the TractorByNet group, I removed the cylinder, had it repaired and re-installed it. The tractor was bh and FEL worked well but seemed slower than normal. I stopped by my dealer and inquired about which Kubota hydraulic fluid they used when they serviced my BX23 recenty and I bought a gallon. I figured with the past leaking cylinder issue I most likely lost fluid so when I checked today I noticed the stick was dry. I added about a gallon and the tractor seemed to be running well, except I started seeing fluid on the ground in areas were I had been. I looked under the tractor and there was a steady flow of hydraulic fluid sreaming down on the rear left side of the tractor based on the left side if I was sitting in my seat. I lift the seat and crawled underneath and I can not tell where this fluid is coming from. I can hear a draining sound and not sure if anyone has had something like this has happen to anyone else. I added a picture to give members an idea of what I am seeing. The FEL and BH still works.

When you added "about a gallon", did that bring your fluid level up to the correct spot on your dip stick?
