You could swap to biodegradable hydraulic oil - that's what I use in my Irus Deltrak. As it breaks down naturally it won't affect hardstanding or soft/grass areas.

Paint the drive red!

Difficult to wriggle out of that one.

Insurance job methinks, rotten luck.

But a jacket's a lot cheaper to replace.

 

How amicable is the client to deal with? Could you clean the oil up enough and repaint all of the drive?

I don't think you can just switch oil, you need different seals in the pump and motors, needs to be ordered with bio-oil from new really, well thats my understanding.

I've used washing up liquid and water/broom, washing detergents are designed to break down oils so it does make sense really. I was mortified but scrubbed it for half an hour and told them to get in touch if it was stained, they never did.. I did a quick driveby out of curiosity but couldn't notice a stain, didn't slow down too much mind haha.. I've been told brake cleaner but never tried it.

 

I wonder if this might be more difficult becuase it's had time to soak in?

10 month old machine with hydraulic issues.

Still under warranty.

Am I truly expected to check every nut bolt and connection regularly?

No sign of stain going away anytime soon...
