Fast ways to track down implement leaks

[Tovran]

Just finished swapping attachments on my Case IH and noticed a tiny drip.
Before it turns into a bigger mess, what are your best tips for pinpointing those pesky leaks in the field?
I’d love to hear your tried-and-true methods

I tidy things up and then grab a piece of paper or a towel to follow the drip. A lot of the time, it's from a tiny hose or fitting. If it’s really being a pain, I’ll apply some pressure and keep an eye on it

I start by checking all the obvious places hoses, fittings, and the spots where everything connects. A quick pressure test can be pretty useful too. If it's just a slow drip, I sometimes add a dye to track it better. It works every time.

I’ve experienced those small drips turning into major headaches!
What I usually do is clean up the area and run the machine for a while.
The leak tends to reveal itself once the oil heats up and starts moving.
