leaking hydraulic connection

[Anonymous Poster]

I have a B-2400 with leaking hydraulic connection where the line enters the power steering unit. It is a flared fitting and I have examined the flare for any dirt or damage- everything looks good except that I lose about a pint of oil a week. Is there supposed to be an O ring? If so, mine is missing.
Thanks for your help. My Kubota dealer only want to sell me a new line.

If its a a flare fitting it doesn't use an o ring. The flare on the end of the hose may be cracked. Take a look and see.
