BX loader linkage leakage.

[Singlecoil]

I've been having a slow leak at one of my quick-connect FEL lines (the four in a row in the brass bar) for quite sometime. I've tried tightening them, tried leaving the loader without any pressure in it, but still I get a slow leak. It is almost imperceptible, but the flat part of the brass housing gets wet and dirty from the leak. It almost seems worse since I tightened those fittings. I'm thinking about just rebuilding those four fittings. Does anyone know if there are some nylon type washers in there? I'm going to be by my dealer next week and if there are some parts I should pick up for the rebuild, I would like to know.
Thx.

I get a small amount of oil in the same area. I have noticed that when disconnecting the hoses a small amount of oil will drip out of the connections. I always have a paper towel to catch the drips. I know that I don't get all the oil all the time and a thin film will generally be on the plate. In my opinion there is no problem. I also get a small amount of oil around the fittings on the backhoe. I hope that doesn't get you worried about a leak in the rear connections.
