I vaguely remember fixing this issue 30+ years ago on another 185. Oil started running out under steering wheel yesterday. Today when I moved it into the shop there was no oil leak ( probably ran less than 5 minutes. I seriously doubt that that issue can fix itself!🙏🤞 I believe last time I just replaced a seal in the top end of the steering motor. Is this the usual issue or does the whole motor need O-rings and seals? Thanks in advance for all information and advice.. Joe |

My FWA 8010 did that occasionally. Replaced the shaft seal and that took care of it, for now at least. ------------- WD,D15,190XT,7000,8010x2,7060,8070 |

| Same on 8070 and F2 Gleaner. Seal up top seemed to fix them. |
