Hydro hose connectors weeping

[newy1234]

This is a general Hydro question. My 743 has two hydro connectors weeping (dripping oil) on one of the main arm lift rams. I have replaced one of the hoses and the other is original Bobcat but both are weeping. The other end of both these hoses seals fine at the joins in the engine bay.
Being a flare style connector and the seal should be made on the tapper I did not really want to try to use anytype of sealant on them unless there is some sort of specific sealant for this type of connector?
Any hydro gurus out there?
Thanks

If you are 100% sure the fittings are leaking and not that the hose is starting to fail, you can buy sealers for JIC fittings. They are like a shim that slips over the male fitting and you screw it together. It has red 'sealant' on it and they are meant to prevent leaking. I used some on a 743 hydro pump on the 5000psi ports, never leaked. I used them because there were marks on the fittings from being knocked around before i got it.
Hopefully your local hydraulics shop would have these.

The name 'JIC' is what was really handy, I found this type of seal using google, I may have to call into my hydro shop and ask.

I will replace the second hose on the ram as it maybe spraying oil onto the new one but I doubt it.

Those are the ones.
I spoke to a hydraulics guy a few years back, he hates JIC fittings, they aren't the easiest to get leak free. I personally haven't had an issue, but i do tend to tighten the fitting up pretty tight. Using fittings that use an O ring, technically they will run without a leak hand tight
