Loader Quick Attach leaking

[DOCatRU]

Hi folks:

This is on a 2008 Kioti CK30 with the KL 130 loader. It is routinely stored in a shed with one side open to the elements.

One of the four quick attach fittings (the white one) is leaking. Hydraulic oil bubbles up in the gap at the top of the slip collar that locks the upper fitting onto the lower one.

1) I have removed the pressure by detaching the relative hoses.
2) Detached the quick attach fitting.
3) Wiped it clean.
4) Reattached the quick fitting.
5) Reattached the hoses.

......and it still leaks.

Do these fittings go bad over time? It is the fitting to the far right in the picture. You can barely see a ribbon of oil above the slip collar.

Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.

regards,

DOC

You can use two different kinds of pipe joint compound made of Teflon. Tape the threads to prevent them from unraveling. After that, put in some pipe joint compound. Enhance the connection's stability. To ensure a secure seal, lubricate the ferrule of any compression joints, wipe away any pipe joint compound, and align any slip joints with extreme precision.

Or maybe just put a new end connector on it.

Replace the 0 ring in it.
