Yes that's my thought as well. Trouble is Matthew it is bolted to a solid chassis that is hidden under another plate as it's not possible to see the oil emerging, only the trickle when it has emerged :(
In the pictures below it doesn't look too bad, but actually getting spanners on it is pretty awful. The rear connections can only be acessed by removing the engine sump protector and coming in from the rear.

Hmm, a nightmare!
All the best! Matthew

Man I had one of those type of leaks on an old Brokk at work. I had the spool valve block apart twice before I found it was a crack in a small bore steel link pipe at the bottom of the stack.
It's always the hard to get at bits that give trouble.
awemawson:
Well the diagnosis was wrong :bang:
In fact (having had the block out and re- O ringed between slices) the leak is actually from the sliding spool itself - ie it's worn or the bore is worn or more likely both :(
Wasted a week with a red-herring where a breaker claimed to have a spare full block of all the spools (but he didn't - it was a different one!) so have ordered a spare spool "slice" from JCB (please pass the hat round) - should arrive tomorrow :med:

This is kinda sounding like my Ford tractor after I first bought it Andrew, -- lots of unfortunate discoveries!
Nevertheless, I'm now glad I have it. :dremel:
