Leaking hydraulics on Backhoe

[Whittsend]

The backhoe (BT601) on my BX25D is leaking hydraulic fluid. It's a very slow leak, just a few drips at a time. The stabilizer arms sag after sitting for a while so I'm assuming is coming from those lines/fittings. Have not had a chance to dig into it yet because of other stuff. The backhoe is disconnected right since I'm using my post hole digger. Will hook up the backhoe sometime soon and when there is some pressure, try to track down the exact spot of the leak. Was wondering if this is a common/known issue? Have others seen this?

I wouldn't assume it's stabilizer arms as those often droop brand-new (I've always used a strap to hold mine up in storage; my backhoe was made by Ansung, which I know has built things for Kubota, but I'm sure this isn't particular to Ansung backhoes).

Search hydraulic leak down.

If you have a physical leak you will find dust accumulation at the leak points assuming you use the attachment for digging
