5530 return line leak

[ENG18LT]

Here are some pictures of the return line on the top of my rear housing, there are two, this is the left one that has been leaking. Last fall when installing dual remotes I broke the flow through bolt on the right one. After fixing that it has been fine. The left one has been leaking for a few months now. I was reworking the way the seat mounts so it would sit lower and decided to fix the leak and take some pics while I was at it. After taking the bolt out I took some 600 grit paper and cleaned up the surfaces before putting it back together with a new bolt ( which I got from Galen last fall, thank you!). Seems to be holding, will be keeping an eye on it. The machine is only a year old with 35 hours but I believe the leaks came about after I broke the "seal" when installing the remotes so I did not try to warranty it (my fault). I know one other guy here has a similar issue so I figured I would post pics. Hope this helps.

I don't know part number but if you get ahold of Galen at Lawall's tractor he will know exactly what you need and stocks them.
