I'm having trouble with this backhoe that I've had a while. The hydraulics are pretty strong on loader and backhoe, but it started spurting oil out the left breather soon after getting started. I can see bubbles in the oil, but it doesn't look "foamy". Also, it's only the left and last time I let it flow some and it kept escaping until fluid level was too low for good operation.
I did check the pump intake hoses and nothing seemed blocked or damaged.
I'm thinking this could be a blockage out of the left reservoir or into the right reservoir? Is there any problem in capping the left breather to see how it behaves? I could use any tips on diagnosing this further.
