Kubota b20 spraying hydraulic fluid out the dashboard steering column

[trezucha]

Hello,
I recently had my b20 serviced for all filters and fluids and it was running well.
It has a tl420 loader with a bt750 hoe.

When using the loader last weekend, it started spraying hydraulic fluid out the dashboard steering column.

Is that typically a hose issue (which I can get made at a local auto zone) or is that typically something the shop needs to deal with?

It seems that accessing that area would require removing the gas tank for access.

Has anyone run into this area of leaking?
What was your solution?

Thank you for your thoughts,
-Tom

Very unlikely with that model that your going to be able to get the local auto parts store to be able to make a line, that model takes almost all hard lines for the hydraulic system.

Also it may not be a line, "fluid out the steering column" sounds more like a power steering unit failure.

Your either going to have to get the WSM (work shop manual) (aka service manual) and dive into it yourself to find the leak and repair it, or yes your going to have to take it on the chin and take it in for service.
