Got caught with my pants down today. Guess I got cocky and didn’t believe we would get this much snow out of this storm. The lake effect snow machine is cranking and we have about a foot and a half today and its still coming. Of course I didn’t have the chains or snowblower on the 574 yet as I was using it for other things.
I finally got things moved around and the blower on but then I noticed a major oil leak coming from the steering column area. I know its seeped there in the past but it was minor. It’s not minor anymore! I had to add oil to be able to use it to open up the driveway but it’s really a gusher leak now. I haven’t looked into it yet but know I’ve heard of problems with steering valve leaks on these. Is there a common problem that’s hopefully an easy fix? I plan on looking into it after dinner but the snows still pilling up!
