My 93 743b has been leaking hydraulic fluid, not a ton but it's never leaked before. Just a plate sized spot overnight. It's been pooling up in the engine compartment and leaking out the back corner. I found the leak in the back by the battery. There's a metal hydraulic line and a black line that are bolted to the side to the right of the battery. It's the metal, upper line that has a small, probably pin hole sized, leak near the bend toward the back of the machine. Is there any way to simply repair this? I tried to wrap some rubber around it with a hose clamp, but that didn't do the trick. Can I purchase a replacement line that is pre-made? or will I have to have one made? I am terrible with mechanics but it looks like it can be unscrewed on both ends to be replaced pretty easy? If so is there a way to keep it from spewing out fluid when removing/replacing? Thank you guys so much in advance.
