I am currently dealing with water in the hydraulic system of my Galion 125, serial number C-125-DH-3944. One issue I have identified is a leak from the top cap of the rotary hydraulic distributor. While it is not severe at the moment, I understand the importance of addressing it before it worsens. In looking at the unit, it appears to be secured to the frame with 4 bolts. I am contemplating removing the entire unit to assess and possibly repair the leak. Can anyone offer advice on the best approach for removing and addressing this issue? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I have worked on a 150 where I have encountered issues with the control valve underneath the swivel. This has happened multiple times over the years, leading to leaks that run through the control cables and eventually start leaking onto your boots. It is a task that I do not particularly enjoy handling.
Answer: Answer: A leak from the top cap of the rotary hydraulic distributor can often be identified by observing signs of hydraulic fluid seepage or pooling around the top cap area.
Answer: Answer: Ignoring a leak from the top cap can lead to hydraulic system contamination, reduced efficiency, and potentially more severe damage if left unaddressed.
Answer: Answer: To remove and repair a leaking top cap, you may need to disconnect hydraulic lines, unbolt the unit from the frame, assess the condition of the top cap and seals, replace any damaged components, and reassemble the unit securely to prevent future leaks.
