Nige or anyone else,


I have been working my d3 that I bought earlier this year, and have noticed something that I think I know what is causing it but I hope I can confirm it. When I bought the d3c II serial #5cj, it was full of all fluids, after working it, I have noticed the that engine gains oil. It appears that the extra fluid is maybe hydraulic? it does not have the dilution that would lead me to think that its diesel. What other sources would there be besides the hydraulic pump? And is there parts available to repair the seals in that pump or will it need replacement? thanks,keith
