Probably depends upon what you use it for. I think hydraulic oil is formulated to hold up under heat and high pressure better than motor oil. If you parked your tractor with a big bale hanging in the air from the loader, I'd suspect it might not hold as long as with hyd. oil.
You didn't say what you are using it on but for occasional loader or 3 point use, motor oil is ok, after all, it has worked for the last 2 years.
If it is running a backhoe or loader 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, then I'd use the recommended hydraulic oil.
I don't think the motor oil made the seals leak. Unless cold temps is a concern, you could go to straight 20 or 30 wt. or even a 15w40 used in a lot of diesels.
