2005 model Backhoe that is losing brake oil somewhere not obvious.
It was by mistake topped up with brake fluid when level was low, mistake discovered and fluid replaced with right weight oil.
Now brakes are not working as in pedals have no feel and there seems to be no brakes working. When oil was placed in system after brake fluid mistake the braking system was bled and seemed to be ok.
Few days later brakes became unresponsive and lost pedal feel.
Could the brakes be losing oil inside (no obvious leaks) rear housing?
Owners manual of no help and no dealers close.
Only 3,000 hrs on machine.
