Check your hydraulic connections every couple of months.

For??? Is there something in the picture I'm missing?

Yes the fluid leaking on the hose connections.

rynosback, I have replaced one of our hoses that was leaking while we were under warranty. DRV had me give them the length I needed and what color it was. I notice that same thing in that area on our unit from time to time but not as much as in your picture. And I have checked all the connections.

Looks pretty familiar Ryan. Ours were leaking but ours didn't look as bad as your picture. When we had our replacement done in June I mentioned the hose leaks issue to the techs they assured me that would be addressed as well as the jack replacement. Since our visit we're dry as a bone in that compartment!

I have a few like that. Also have a back ram with a small leak where it screws together. For now I used brake clean and then applied the RightStuff by Permatex. Seems to be holding.

Look at it this way:

You were smart enough to catch it!

Our pump manifold has 3 fittings leaking. I've tightened all I'm comfortable tightening.... with a new unit still under warranty. It's so slow that I can't tell if the actual threaded connection is weeping or the hose assembly. Too bad they didn't use Aeroquip, Parker, Eaton or a brand you can buy and replace ends on.....

On the plus side, if it still leaks. I will never need to flush out the system..
