What happens here

The skid steer is transported to the shop's gravel yard, a safer location for hydraulic fluid spills compared to a paved parking lot. The operator explains that the move minimizes environmental impact and avoids potential staining on the customer's property. He then proceeds to examine the hydraulic lines more closely, specifically pointing out where the fluid is leaking from the blue hose and the small hidden hose underneath, confirming the need for replacement.

Goal: Move the skid steer to the shop for repair and conduct a detailed leak inspection.

[Music] we're gonna watch all right so we decided to bring the cat down here to the shop that way if any excess hydraulic oil leaks it's going to leak onto our gravel yard down here rather than our customers uh parking lot and since it was only 15 minutes away we thought it was worthwhile just to do this so we got a hydraulic hose leaking see that the barbs are kind of showing on that wire right there there's some oil on there right now so it's kind of hard to see essentially that wire runs through the side wall there out to the track on this side here you can see them poking through right there and essentially attach right there so this is the one small hose that's leaking right there and this is the big hose that's leaking and unfortunately I don't think I'm going to be able to get a wrench or anything in between this track and this wall and actually have any room to turn it so I gotta take this right side track off to get access to that hose connection to loosen the bolt so it's going to be a little bit of a hassle just to get to the actual connection over there and then while I'm in here I'm gonna shop vac all this out to make a little cleaner while I'm working and then also check the hoses on the the right side of the machine and
