I have a hydraulic oil leak from the breather vent on the air conditioning support on my 248B skid steer. I loose about a gallon of oil a day out of this vent. The vent is mounted on a support with the a\c compressor on one side and a gear motor on the other side(part 218-6840). I am guessing the seal of the gear motor is gone and filling the support until it over flows out the vent on top. Is it possible to somehow bypass this motor?. I have never used the a\c and I don't remember it ever working in the last 10 years. The leak is new. The motor I would like to just eliminate rather than replace has 3 hydraulic lines(3rd is case drain?) and is hard to reach-very bottom of the machine. I am not sure if this would be easy to bypass this whole motor or would I have to spend the money to replace it even though I never use it...and it is an expensive part.
Thank you
