Hello
As title says, tm 140 has a considerable oil leak under the cab. Has painted the underside of cab and transmission and fuel tank. Problem is I cant find it. Have Tried steering and brakes and that while in yard but can't replicate it. Would it be something from transmission in a higher range that only happens on the road?

Thanks
To.

Check the steering again. Very common for the steering resonator (6 inch long cylinder) to spring a leak and spray underside of the floor. Access through the floor, but you will see the leak/spray from underneath.

I lifted the floor, which I had forgotten all about since last time 😭. So thanks for that.

Thanks for the tip about the resonator. Was wondering what that was! I'll know for next time!

It was a pressure switch that gave up and was spraying oil. Found it seeping out of the wiring.

Handy fix in the end.

Thanks for the help lads.
