Leak Under Battery?

Hydraulic Leak

Hi everyone was just looking for some input on what this is. It seems to be leaking not bad but enough where it has a film of hydraulic fluid all over it. Any ideas on to fix it can I just sung up the bolts? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yup, been there done that.
You have a leaking O ring.
There is an O ring between the hydraulic line and the block.
Clean the block and the lines real good and then run the FEL a few cycles and you should see a little seepage around the line that is leaking.
Remove the bolt going through the line and you will probably see the ring is bad or was pinched during assembly.
There are two rings per line but you probably only need the large ring against the block. Once you pull one of the bolts the fix should appear obvious.
Replace O rings with rings made for hydraulic pressure. I paid about a dollar a piece at my Kubota dealer.

I don't know if this is the same problem, but when my BX2660 was newly delivered, it leaked hydraulic fluid all over the battery and its compartment and below. The cause......the dealer set up overfilled the transmission fluid by about a quart. After draining the quart, I never had another such leak. It was quite a mess to clean up before I figured it out. I kept looking for a loose connection under the dash above the battery.

After reading some post by other people with similar problems a few said that a manufacturing defect of the flares on the SS lines were eating O rings and causing leaks. I am going to stop by my dealer and ask them about it today.

I am picking my BX24 up tomorrow. They just replaced all of the stainless steel lines. It has roughly 70 hrs on it.

The dealer was NOT aware of the problem but Kubota was.
