Are they only leaking when the hose is inserted? Or all the time?
If it's just when the hose is installed, look at the far right diagram Zebrafive posted, number 3 is what you need, it's a o-ring and a Teflon washer that fit in the back each coupler, you will need patience and a small (pick set helps) to replace them.
Don't worry about hurting them coming out, going back in with new ones is when you have to get them straight and not bend the Teflon washer.
It's really not hard, just tedious.
They come in a kit of ten or twenty I believe it is, so be prepared, you will need them all eventually anyway.
I go through them like candy it seems like, and yes they will allow a lot of fluid to pass when they are used/worn.
The Teflon washer goes in front of the o-ring as you can see in the diagram..
Speaking of tubes / hoses, I cleaned up the back end then started inspection. I found 2 hoses per SCV. Here is a pic:
Then I tracked the hoses and found that the exterior (furthest away from cab) one went to ground, while the interior (closest to cab) hose was disconnected from the back of the hydraulic fill tube. I reconnected it:
No wonder I lost so much oil in so short a time! When I witnessed oil coming out of the "transmission" tube, it was really flowing. There are no clamps, which tells me that they are designed for very low quantities. Anyone care to guess what each type of tube does?
FWIW, I removed one of the allen-wrench caps (it was Very tight) for the check valve, but did not get into it yet. Put it back together until I have a higher priority project completed. All of this information is very helpful. Thanks to all.
