Hyrdrolic fluid leaking

[firstchoice1]

I have a 48' exmark ct rider. The hydrolic fluid is leaking at the tube behind the seat but can't seem to find the leakage area. Any ideas on how I can find it? I was thinking about just wraping a 2 ft stetch of the tube with heat resistant tape. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Travis

If its coming out of the 'tube' (or the hose) the easiest thing to do is take the old one off (they get hot, and you will most likely have to cut it). Take the old one to an auto parts store. They will cut one the same size for you.

Easiest way to find hydraulic leaks is with a uv light and dye you put in the fluid. Available at Napa and other auto part stores.
