I'm beaten and bruised but I finally won...
(Note: I'm fanatical about oil leaks!)
I had a slight drip under the 210LE making a mess and decided to address the issue. It was identified as a bad suction hose from the hydraulic reservoir to the main pump. It's a simple and (I thought) common item easily replaced, man, was I wrong! Just a 1.5" wire inserted suction hose.
After driving all over town (CAT, Case, a local tractor guy...) I ended up at a big rig repair and FINALLY scored a 12" hose for $25.00. PRICEY!!
Got back and after 4 frigg'n hours I wrangled that SOB in. It was like wrestling with a dang boa constrictor! Worked from the bottom, pulled the floor...worked from the top. I'm sore on all my edges and corners from the battle.
Next time I'll just try snugging the clamps...LOL
