JCB 3C leaking from below the steering wheel

[jcb1968]

Hi all
as stated above, though the machine does steer, it is losing a lot of oil from below the steering wheel in the cab, what should i be looking at replacing?
thanks

hi john, could just be a loose fitting or dowty seal, cracked fitting or, worst case, damaged orbital valve. if you remove the steering column and try to spot the leak you'll know what to replace first. ?
