Hi,
I have an old x320 with a couple of leaks. I have traced the main one to the swivel joint, but there is another I'm having trouble with.
It appears to be in the area between the hydraulic drain and the bottom of the slew drive. I was using the machine yesterday and when I came to clean it along the box section on the right hand side under the digger it was covered in oil and it looked like oil had also sprayed out around the slew on the same side. I have cleaned it up and will have a look today to see if I can find any more clues.
Also there is a mystery leak that appears underneath in the middle, in front of the cover plate. I know the swivel joint is leaking, but this feels more like water rather than oil. It collects in the plate at the front and drips down, I am at a loss as it also drips when the machine isn't running. Any ideas?
