I seem to have the same problem noted in 5030 HST hydraulic leak where I have oil dripping from the joint pipe (TD060-58280) attached to the Bypass Pipe (TD060-58270).

I don't see it but there must be a very small crack in the pipe. The joint pipe nuts attaching the bypass pipe to the HST Case were extremely tight and took much effort to free so they were not loose at all.

5030tinkerer noted:
BTW, changing the line out was a snap.

I read his post and concluded that I should order the parts and replace the pipe as well since it sounded easy enough. I'm finding it much more difficult to replace the bypass pipe though. I can't find a way to wiggle the pipe so that it can be removed.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions short of removing the cab.
