Ford 445A Hydraulic Pump Leak

[Tweeter]

Trying to identify a leak on a Ford 445A front mount hydraulic pump. Reservoir is low and oil is noticeable all over the front axle. Where are leak prone areas to look for in this system?

Pump shaft seal.

Pump seal, then the rubber hose from the tank outlet to the pump.
Raise and lock the loader, then take out the 4 bolts holding the grill in, you can view almost everything from here

Power wash it first if you can. have also seen the 2 bolt flange where the return line meets the hard-nose/tank leak.
