First tractor owner here. Is this just some kind of pressure relief on my loader valve? It’s dripping. L3302. Thanks

My dealer is great. Called him up, explained issue, sent a tech to my house an hour later and installed a whole new loader valve. Super pleased. BUT, while working the tractor today after about an hour, same thing is happening. Grease dripping out. Any thoughts? Could it be something I’m doing or not doing? Really hate to whine about it. Should I just wait it out and see if it quits? Thanks

At a minimum you need fo check the pressure on the tank port.

Thanks. Ordered a pressure gauge and fittings to tee off the block port.

Is that grease or oil? If its grease it may just be excess getting pushed out the weep hole by the action of the spool. I dont think the valve on my tractor has thst hole - I will have to check...
