Hydraulic Fluid seeping

[Dee_Dub]

Hello,
I had a reason to drop my underbelly (replaced black tank) and I noticed that there is hydraulic fluid on the outside of the hydraulic lines. There was a small spot on the upper side of the underbelly when I removed it.

Question: Should I be nervous about that puddle or is it normal seepage?

Thanks

I have never experienced what you describe and would not consider any seepage as normal. May be as simple as a loose connection.

There is no fluid around the fittings in the area. After wiping done the hoses, I exercised the slides a number of times and no visible fluid. I am going to monitor the fluid level at the tank in the future and have concluded that the fluid came from the manufacturing process.
