I have a small leak at a welded seam (would you believe on the bottom?) of a 10 gallon rectangular hydraulic reservoir. It is a small leak and seems to be a defect in the seam weld. By small I mean maybe a shot glass worth over a week or so, Just enough to keep the floor looking junky.
Anyone got a simple idea of how to plug it without getting crazy and draining and cleaning and brazing or welding. I noticed there was a bottle of hydraulic leak stop product at TSC (tractor supply) but do not have a real desire to put any of their magic into good Case IH Ankcella hytran oil – or just do it and not worry about it? How about some of the magic plumbers tape? – not having any good ideas of how to wrap at an edge. Any other ideas? Bondo? – drill a small screw with a rubber washer into the hole?
