Thank you to all of the awesome HEF members who have helped me so far @mg2361 @heymccall @Bluox @hosspuller @terex herder and everyone else!
I have made 1 step forward (fuel distribution pump is replaced, fuel tank is cleaned out, fuel drain is replaced / repaired, new fan belt is on and working well, new alternator is working well, new belt tensioner is working well, and idler pulley with replaced bearings is working well), but I have run into what appears to be three new problems. I'm not yet certain where they come from or what they signify. I would greatly appreciate any pointers on where to look, especially with the hydraulic leak.
My concerns now I would appreciate tips on:
1) Hydraulic leak dripping down the center of the excavator near the pump / swing bearing (starting at 5:52 in the video)
2) Engine oil leak dripping off the rear counterweight, possibly coming from the fuel injection pump gear shaft area? (starting around 3:43 in the video)
3) Exhaust leak? The cabinet on the opposite side of the cab next to the hydraulic tank seems very hot and may have even melted wire coatings? See 9:00 in video. You can also hear a bit of a strange ticking / tapping sound? Someone in a previous thread said this could be a hole in the exhaust maybe?
