Hey guys.

I don’t post a ton but my 2006 case cx160 has started to make this awful pinging sort of sound in the valve body area while under heavy load.

hydraulic oil level is good and there is no noise coming from pumps.

does anyone have any clues what could be causing this? Relief valve?
only does it when machine is pulling heavy or lifting heavy. Doesn’t do it much when just moving the machine around. Seems to be getting slightly worse over the last day and a half.

thanks in advance!

Kind regards
