compression hydraulic line?

[mikec]

I have a Bobcat 743 that started leaking hydraulic fluid yesterday, I was able to trace it to the left drive motor. I was able to get the hose loose by the motor, but I am wondering if the top of the hose comes apart where it turns to a metal pipe? I don't know if it's a compression fitting or not?

I would suggest going to:
