I noticed a small leak at one of my steering cylinders. This doesn't bother me too much, but I was wondering if this is something I should report for warranty work now or wait to see if it gets worse. There's been no physical damage or impact to the cylinder, so I would assume it's a defective seal.

Other than this very minor problem, this tractor has exceeded my expectations across the board. Overall it's a pretty impressive piece of equipment.

Any information or insight on the hydraulic cylinder leak would be great.

I would !
I would talk to your dealer and see what he has to say.
The leak more than likely will not heal itself. It may get worse over time.
Better repaired under warranty then waiting till its gone.
