These are pretty basic questions so forgive my ignorance (Oliver newbie), but since I don't have any manuals I was hoping for some help from the experts on this forum. I acquired a 1550 diesel with a new piece of property recently and it's leaking some kind of oil and I'm not able to identify where it's coming from. So I have two questions....
1) Do these 1550s have any known or typical oil leak issues I should know about and if so, where can I look to confirm where it might be coming from? I assume that I have a bad seal somewhere and wondering if it's something serious or if I can just keep adding oil and not worry too much about it until I'm able to get it repaired.
2) What and where are all the fluid levels I should check to make sure I'm not critically low on anything? I know where the engine oil stick is and I stumbled across what I think is the hydraulic oil (below the seat between my feet). Is there anything else I should check relative to the oil leak I'm experiencing?
Thanks in advance.
