Please consider moving this item to the top of your to-do list!
The attached images should be pretty self explanatory. At the center of the image of my '99 DD Series 60 is a hydraulic manifold. It is involved with controlling the speed of the engine cooling fan. On the back of that manifold there MAY be a pressure gauge. Another image shows the gauge that was on the back of mine and a broken wrench.
I was aware that others had trouble with the gauge and it could leak, but when I checked mine at that time it was fine and reading correctly and I left it alone. BIG mistake. If ( or maybe it's when ) this gauge fails over time it can deplete your hydraulic fluid supply and you will be stuck wherever you are at that time. I was very lucky that when mine failed I was moving the coach around and noticed the leak before any significant fluid was lost.
The gauge was difficult to remove, but I got it out and replaced it with a pipe plug.
My suggestion is, if you still have the gauge replace it with a plug now. Russ
