Leak at connector

[GICE]

My quick disconnect on a hydraulic line to the loader leaks from it's center. I have cleaned it but no success still leaks. Will replacing it be the best idea? Will I need to bleed the hydraulic line after the connector is replaced, if so how? Loader on a J.D. 2520 2.5 years old.

Is the leak when connected or disconnected?

If when connected their are O-ring seals in the female half that can be replaced.

If when unconnected yes you will have to replace that half of the connector & no you should not need to do anything special to bleed the system. Just cycle the cylinders through full travel a few times should purge any air.
