Hi,

I have a front-end loader that is leaking oil from a side bolt on the control assembly.

A picture if where it's leaking can be found here

How should I go about fixing it, I have no knowledge of hydraulics. I don't know if I should un-do the leaking bolt and replace the seal under it (assuming it has one) and if I should do this do I then need to bleed the system or top it up.

Hi Guys, sorry I accidentally deleted it. I have attached it here

My Tractor is a Kubota L1501. I guess I just wanted to be sure before I pull it apart. Should I drain and replace the oil? Will it need bleeding?

Sorry must have missed your other post. :eek:

What's leaking is not a bolt but a plug, probably loose or a bad O-ring, should be a simple fix.
You might be able to just pull the plug with the valve still mounted, just put a bucket under it before you pull it out as a little fluid will leak out.

No need to drain anything and it will bleed/purge any air out all on it's own when you start it back up.
