Thank you John and Dennis, I did scrub the fitting in question down
with brake cleaner, and will check tomorrow for the source of the
leak. I have never worked on hydraulics, so I'm out of league on
this one. I did call the dealer today, who functions both as the
sales guy and the service man. His advice was to take the connection
apart and take a close look at the o-ring, so that's what I'll do.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Mike M<br>

<div>I agree with John, only way is too clean, and then start it
up while someone tries turning the wheels. Watch and see where
oil comes out first.</div>

<div>Picture shows the hose to to be a Aeroquip 2 wire braid hose.
There appears to be some spot about 1/8” from the end of the
crimp that looks suspicious. Not sure if it is a cut in the
cover, or if it is just some dirt stuck there. When hoses fail
that is a common failure point. I would wipe that down first and
examine that area closer.</div>

if this came through twice, but here's the problem I'm

Dealer says it appears to be a power steering hose. I know
nothing about <br>
hydraulics but would like to get opinions as to this is a
hose failure, <br>
or an o-ring failure. Any help would be appreciated. <br>
