Weeping hose

I never saw a hose do anything like this. The 2-105 White has an engine oil cooler in the bottom tank of the radiator. I had a film of oil on the bottom windshield on the right side of the cab. I couldn't really tell where the leak was when it was running,but the frame was oily under these hoses too. I just washed it all off and wiped it down,then started it up and waited.
That hose started sweating oil. I had wiped it down a few days ago when I was using it and a while later had oil around the crimped fitting and suspected that was where it was coming from,but it appears to be weeping out then running down to the crimp.
It was leaking so fast that I couldn't even wipe it clean and snap a picture before it would start weeping again. It isn't spraying at all,just oozing out. It didn't take 10 seconds for it to get to what it looks like in the bottom picture.

Pretty common.

Likely is leaking at the end/crimp area, and pressurized oil is following the internal steel braid away from the fitting and leaking through the (partially fabric?) outer cover.

If you read the "specs", certain pressure hoses have a "pinpricked" outer covering so oil leaking into the braid layer can weep out and doesn't blow the outer covering up into a big bubble that will burst suddenly.
 
then don't buy a Kubota just replaced every hose on one that has a loader on it 8 hoses and everyone was leaking just like that
 
I had the motor out a few weeks ago to get the Over/Under out. I must have twisted the crimped end when I was fooling with it.
 
The tubing on the fittings are bent for the curve,but I might have it twisted somehow.
 
BE CAREFUL! I knew a logger that saw an oily hose like that and when he wiped it it injected oil into his hand from a pinhole leak. They had to open up his hand to try and clean it all out. Hand was never the same.
 

Has to replace the return hose for the Behlen power steering on my Farmall H. It was not leaking at any of the crimped ends. It was simply oozing along the entire length.
 
I think Bob probably has the the most correct answer as far as it is leaking at the crimp and working it?s way back. And since it just carrying lower pressure engine oil it is not spraying like a hydraulic hose would.
 
Time to replace it before you have motor oil everywhere. Had an old scraper, 1 hose got to doing that, just as I finished a job it blew hyd oil all over the back of the scraper. Was a bear to change. Good luck with it.
 
Farmer in my home town in KS had to have his arm amputated about mid forearm. Hydraulic hose sprung a leak and he was just trying to contain the spraying as one last hydraulic function was performed. The way I heard it was the local small town doctor didn?t realize how critical it was the he get to larger hospital with better technology to handle such an injury. It may have been the same as the case sms is talking about; and just may have never been the same anyway. So yes be very careful around hydraulic and diesel injection leaks.
 
Just saying, something for everyone to think about. I know you said you shut if off before cleaning also.
 
We've been battling a similar problem at work- lake water system, runs about 100psi, we're trying to run temporary hose supply to repair a piped supply with no bypass/isolations. Currently feeding two three-inch hoses that tee into an eight-inch hose, and the three-inch hoses are weeping like that. The connectors are cam-lock, with hose barbs cast onto them, hose attached with SS banding, so no adjustment. They replaced one weeping hose Thursday that I had to valve in and test on Friday, and it leaked worse than the one they replaced. I really don't want to be on a ladder valving in a three-inch fire hose at 100psi and have it slip off the fitting. That's major water.
 
Looks like one of those hoses that feels like old Friction Tape used to fell like compared to hoses that have a 'slick' feeling never had very good luck with the hoses like
you have leaking now.
