I'm not 100% sure that it is the new hose leaking or if it is comming from somewhere else. It's a pretty tight spot to see and the leak is only occuring when the hydraulics are opperated...does not leak at idle, it just drips a couple drops and then stops. It seems unlikely that the new one would leak and more likely that I'm overlooking the REAL leak, but I can see it dripping right where the rubber hose and the crimp of the fitting join. The drip is "uphill" of the threaded flare connection so I realy don't think it is comming from the flare connection. Well, I have access to oil dye and a black light through work and I'm thinking of putting some dye in it to realy pinpoint the leak. Any objections to this?....other than that I will probably find many more small leaks that I didn't want to find? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
