It's a quick, specific fix-it story plus a general lesson on carrying tools and catching leaks early, useful mainly to current FRF165/flail mower owners troubleshooting similar leaks.
An independent TYM 4820 owner sharing unsponsored, hands-on experience and lessons learned from using his own equipment.
In this case it was caused by two loose 17mm bolts on the angle-adjust cylinder that controls the mower moving in and out.
Shut the equipment down, get tools like a 17mm wrench, tighten any loose bolts near the leak, then recheck for more leaking spots before continuing.
An adjustable wrench, pliers, vice grips, a crescent wrench, or a small tool kit so you can address issues like loose bolts on the spot.
