Loader kubota l2250 hydraulic leak

[pwhite42]

A week ago, when it was close to zero out, I had trouble getting my Kubota L2250 and my Massey GC2300 started. After finally getting the Kubota going, I made a few passes down the driveway with the plow in the bucket. When I stooped I saw hydraulic fluid leaking. I can't see the leak, but it appears to be from the pump. Anyone else have a problem like that? The pump itself was replaced in the early 2000s, so it is not as old as the tractor. Thanks.

It's likely either a seal or a pipe not tightened.

Looks like it is an O-ring. Maybe the severe cold caused it.
