This is a problem on uneven terrain, we have a vent that you can mount onto your roll bar, attach a small hose from your current vented fill plug that would help you, these came on Foton tractors but several customers have made them work on there Jinmas

Before spending any money on dripping hydraulic fluid, you should actually confirm the cause. Most common cause is simple over-filling. Not sure how many lines you have on your dipstick, but mine had one. I treated that as the "full" line. With the dipstick set on the hole (not screwed back in). I'd unscrew, remove, wipe, insert, remove, check. Never added hydraulic fluid unless/until the dipstick came out dry. Also - since good usable hydraulic fluid should be clear as water - it's kinda hard to see on the dipstick. So I'd lay the stick horizontal on a rag or paper towel, and use how much transferred to the cloth/paper to determine how much was on the stick.

Another reason for fluid dripping down the back is a hydraulic leak on the suction side. That will typically foam up the fluid, especially if it's wet/dirty. In those cases what you're seeing come out the vent is the hydraulic "foam" that's turned back to liquid in the open air. That said - if you've got the correct level of clean fluid in the sump - it's still possible for a little to run out on severe up slopes.

This is definitely leaking out of the vent hole in the filler plug, I live in the montains of Oregon and have a lot of very steep inclines.

That leakage is normal when going up steep inclines if the reservoir is full. You can either extend the breather or relocate it to solve the problem.

Then - assuming that you've got clean fluid at the correct fill level - a breather extension would be appropriate. Oh, one other thing; always lower any hydraulic implement (front loader, rear lift, etc) before shutting down the engine. That keeps the fluid inside the cylinders. If you wait to until after shutting down the engine, the fluid returns - and subsequently overfills - the hydraulic reservoir. Like I said originally, you have to first determine the cause of the spillage, before opening your wallet.

At my age I am pretty careful about opening my wallet. I see you are a retired sailor, I spent a quarter of the cold war in the North Atlantic Submarine fleet.

And back to the original topic, I tracked down my malfunctioning tach, to a dirty connector.
