1. A system for monitoring a level of hydraulic fluid in an agricultural sprayer, the system comprising:
a drive system configured to control a ground speed of the agricultural sprayer;
a hydraulic fluid system having a hydraulic fluid reservoir;
a fill level sensor configured to provide data indicative of the level of hydraulic fluid within the hydraulic fluid reservoir;
a computing system communicatively coupled to both the drive system and the fill level sensor, the computing system being configured to:
monitor the level of hydraulic fluid within the hydraulic fluid reservoir based on data received from the fill level sensor;
detect a leak condition in the hydraulic fluid system based at least in part on the monitored level of the hydraulic fluid within the hydraulic fluid reservoir; and
control an operation of the drive system to reduce the ground speed of the agricultural sprayer in response to detecting the leak condition.
