Hydraulic pump leak

[cmhyland]

Today I was getting some projects done around the property. Did some brush hogging and after that was tilling in some garden plots for winter.
My machine is a 2000, B2910. I sprung a leak from the hard line that is connected to the top of the Hydraulic pump. It's spraying out between the tube and the compression collar.

I have never had a wrench on this connection so I doubt it's loose. Is this the pressure return on the power beyond?

Anyone have any ideas?

Regards,
Chris

Small lines are pressure, larger line is suction, there is no power beyond on a pump.

Thanks for the info LeeJohn, the line started to leak while tilling.... I suspect there is s slit in the line right at the collar. So I think i'll have to replace the line.

Called the dealer and found the top connection off the aux hydraulic pump is for the power steering.... I ordered the part and it was about 50 bucks.
