Mike,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would start it first and look for a leak. Not all types of fittings use an o-ring to seal.</div>

<div>Thanks </div>

<div dir="ltr"> 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>

Mike,

<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><br>
</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>

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>
