JCB 3D help

[geof914]

Hi All,

This is my first post in a while although I have found loads of useful information in the past. I have a JCB 3D, according to the operators handbook which I got from this site, in the "Kingpost and stabiliser" section, section 6 page D-2 it says to "check the actuator bleed off pipe daily, oil dripping from this pipe would indicate a seal failure" I have hydraulic fluid pouring from this pipe which is very frothy like it's full of air. Any suggestions as to the cause and what seal may have failed. I can't seem to find any other reference to it in the handbook or workshop manual. Cheers

If you have oil leaking out of the breather in the kingpost it will be the slew seals leaking into the rack and pinion ,
