Tractor Power Steering Leaking Oil
Fix Leaks Effectively During Operation


If your tractor’s power steering system is leaking oil or the fluid level in the reservoir is dropping, the cause is usually aged seals inside the steering gear, orbitrol unit, or hydraulic lines. In particular, shaft seals and O-rings lose their elasticity over time due to pressure, temperature, and aging and no longer provide a proper seal.

With LecWec, you can restore the functionality of these seals directly during operation without removing the steering gear or hydraulic components.

How LecWec Works in Tractor Power Steering Systems

In tractor power steering systems, polymer seals inside the steering gear, orbitrol unit, and hydraulic valves keep the oil contained within the system. Due to continuous stress, pressure peaks, and aging, these seals lose their plasticizers over time. They become hard, shrink, and lose their sealing performance. This is exactly where LecWec takes effect during normal operation.

After being added, LecWec circulates through the hydraulic or power steering fluid and reaches all relevant sealing points within the system. The active formula is absorbed by the polymer seals and helps restore their original properties. The material becomes flexible again and fits tightly against the sealing surfaces. This closes leakage gaps at shafts and valves.

In practical use, this means that oil loss at the steering gear or orbitrol unit is significantly reduced or stopped, provided the cause is aged seals. Mechanically damaged components remain unaffected.


Only 3% of the total oil quantity.

LecWec is chlorine-free.

For all oil systems and types.

It happened even faster than I expected.

"I have to report positively that the level matches the oil... unbelievable. [...] I wouldn’t have believed that the steering gearbox would be sealed again after just under a week."

"I did not believe it at first, but your product is excellent! [...] I ordered just one can and everything is sealed already, even though you recommend 2 cans, meaning 200 ml, for 6 liters of oil. Many thanks!"

"...which made it even more satisfying when, after around 3 weeks, I noticed that the oil loss had gone down to zero – the steering rack was sealed again!! Even now, after 4 months, the reservoir is still at the maximum level."

"There was always a small puddle of oil collecting underneath the vehicle. I added 100 ml of LecWec to around 4 liters of oil. Since then, I have driven many miles and was surprised to find that there was no more oil on the ground at all."

How to Seal a Tractor Power Steering System in 3 Steps

If your power steering system is leaking oil, this is usually noticeable through oil-moist steering gears, oil drops at hydraulic lines, or a dropping fluid level. In many cases, aged shaft seals or O-rings inside the system are the cause. Instead of removing components immediately, you can address the issue directly within the system.

Step 1: Check the fluid level in the power steering system and determine the total fluid volume.
Step 2: Add LecWec directly to the hydraulic or power steering reservoir at a ratio of 3% of the total oil volume.
Step 3: Operate the tractor normally and steer multiple times – the additive will circulate throughout the entire system.

The polymer seals absorb the active formula, become flexible again, and fit tightly against the sealing surfaces once more. This reduces or stops oil leaks at typical weak points. You avoid downtime and unnecessary disassembly.

Tractor Power Steering Leaking Oil? These 5 Tips Help

Identify the Leak Source Precisely
Clean the steering gearbox, orbitrol, and hydraulic lines and observe them during operation. This helps determine exactly where the oil is leaking.

Pay Attention to System Pressure
High pressure spikes place additional stress on the seals. Check the hydraulic settings and overall system condition.

Inspect Hydraulic Lines and Fittings
Leaks often occur at connections or fittings. Inspect these areas first before assuming internal component failure.

Restore Seals Directly in the System
The power steering system uses shaft seals and O-rings that harden over time. This is exactly where LecWec can restore sealing performance.

Use LecWec Correctly and Monitor the Results
Dose LecWec at 3% of the total oil volume and operate the tractor normally. Then inspect the known leak points. In many cases, the oil loss is significantly reduced or stopped completely.

Questions and Answers about LecWec

How does LecWec work?
Replacing a leaking oil seal is usually not a cheap repair. If an entire component has to be replaced, the costs become even higher. Since 1995, LecWec has provided a permanent solution for leaking polymer oil seals – without disassembly or replacement and without major time or repair costs. LecWec is suitable not only for vehicles, but for all oil systems and nearly all oil types. Over time, polymer oil seals lose their plasticizers, become brittle, and shrink. LecWec impregnates the seal and replaces the lost plasticizers. The seal becomes flexible again and expands slightly – just enough to compensate for wear on the sealing lip.
3How much LecWec do I need for tractor power steering?
The required amount depends on the oil volume in the tractor’s hydraulic or power steering system. The dosage is exactly 3% of the total oil volume. A system with 20 liters of oil requires 600 ml of LecWec. The additive is poured directly into the hydraulic tank and distributes itself throughout the entire system during operation. This allows LecWec to reach the orbitrol, steering cylinders, and valves as well.
How long does LecWec take to work?
LecWec requires some operating time to take effect. After adding it, the tractor should be operated and the steering system should be used repeatedly so the product can distribute throughout the system. Depending on the condition of the seals, noticeable improvement may take several operating hours to several days.
How long does the effect of LecWec last?
The effect of LecWec is designed for long-term sealing performance. Once the product has fully worked into the seals, the sealing effect usually remains stable for years, provided the seals are still structurally intact.
3How reliably does LecWec stop oil leaks?
LecWec works reliably on oil leaks caused by aged or hardened seals. Especially on O-rings and sealing lips in hydraulic systems, significant improvement is often visible.
3When does LecWec not work?
Its effect is limited in cases of mechanical damage such as worn cylinder rods, damaged hydraulic lines, or defective valves. In these cases, mechanical repair is necessary.
3Do I need to disassemble the tractor power steering system?
No. LecWec is added directly to the hydraulic or power steering oil and works during normal operation. Disassembly of the orbitrol, steering cylinder, or hydraulic lines is not necessary as long as the oil leak is caused by aged seals.
5Does LecWec also help with older tractor steering systems?
Yes. Especially on older tractors, O-rings, sealing lips, and shaft seals are often hardened or shrunken. LecWec restores the flexibility of these seals and can significantly reduce typical leaks in the orbitrol, steering pump, or steering cylinder.
6Does LecWec help with orbitrol units and steering cylinders?
Yes. LecWec can help with leaks in orbitrol units and steering cylinders if the cause is aged seals or O-rings. If piston rods are damaged, components are worn, or valves are defective, the effect is limited.
6Can LecWec also be used preventively?
Yes. LecWec can also be used preventively to keep seals flexible over the long term. Especially on machines with high operating hours or long idle periods, it helps prevent seals from drying out and hardening. For preventive use, a reduced dosage of 1.5% of the total oil volume is recommended. This keeps the seals elastic and significantly reduces the risk of future leaks.
Can LecWec damage the engine or transmission?
No. LecWec is designed to fully blend with the existing oil without affecting lubrication performance. It does not attack metal components and does not alter tolerances within the system. Bearings, gears, and other components remain unaffected. LecWec works exclusively on the seals within the system. When used correctly at the recommended dosage of 3% of the oil volume, it has no negative effect on the function of the engine, transmission, or hydraulic system.
