Seepage under front axel

JayAndrew · Mar 23, 2019

Hi,

I just ran my hand under the front axel of my bx2680 (20 hrs) and noticed a little seepage of oil on my hand. No puddle on the garage floor and the dip stick is showing about 1/2.

Is this normal or should I have it checked out?

Thanks

My comment is, it should be full because there isn't that much lubricant in there to begin with.

My BX25 was doing that at both sides where it pivots for turning. I took it apart and cleaned everything up and switched from the factory hydraulic oil to gear oil. No signs of leaks.

Top off with Fluid, if it continues to leak get it checked out under warranty.
I would not rush down immediately, but when convenient or if some other service is required.

Thanks for the replies. I topped the fluid off and will definately be watching it. I will mention this at my 50 hr service.

While not related directly, I pulled the UDT on front axles on both my M's at the first service and replaced it with 80-90 GL5 Gear oil. The 80-90 provides better shock load protection, something I need as I farm with mine.
