    Clean everything off and and try to see exactly where the leak is coming from. Line could be split or if a flare could be split or worn out.

    should be a hydraulic o-ring on the fitting that screws into the pump..they get "fatigued" over time..if that's the issue, don't just tighten it , replace it...As Welder Dave said make sure it's clean and it's easier to pinpoint that leak..

    Don't use your hand to look for leaks. A pinhole leak could penetrate the skin. Use a piece of paper or carboard if it's hard to see where the leak is coming from.
