Hydraulic Leak

[TheOldHokie]

Sorry for the delay. Have to many projects going. I attached two pictures. It looks to be cracked where you can see the shiny ring around where the bolt. I probably done it when I tightened it too much.
any ideas where I can find one? Been looking online but nothing so far. Everything says it’s discontinued.

If it were me I would make a new flange and replace the pipe with hose.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the knowledge or skill to do that.

It takes very little of both. Any decent hydraulic shop should be able to do that. Post a full kength picture of the pipe.

Well, of course I did not think about a local hydraulic shop!! Thank you for that advice! I’ll post a full length picture tomorrow sometime. Thank
You again!!! I really appreciate your insight!

I'm really not seeing a crack, and I have a 30" computer monitor.
Please point at where you think the crack is?

I'm really not seeing anything cracked or bad in anyway???

I thought he was talking about this. Hard to tell exactly whst it is from the picture but could be a split.

I am agreeing with @North Idaho Wolfman on the “I don’t see a crack”! I also thought what @TheOldHokie thinks is suspected crack but that just looks like pooled oil with light reflecting off it now.

I don’t think the size of the bolts and the (probably aluminum) material they thread into have the strength to do damage to that hunk of steel, but I concede that anything is possible.

I personally don’t see any reason why there would be a leak on the face of that joint, so I have no idea what is going on.

@Smokey160 - please clean that part up a bit to remove the oil since it reflects the light oddly in pictures. I would use Berryman B12 or a non-chlorinated brake parts cleaner in a spray can to blast it clean. You should remove the o-ring first or it will probably get lost. Then take another picture of the part after it dries without the o-ring and another with the o-ring. I guess if you have some third hand available use a sharp pencil point or something similar to point to the suspected crack to help us see what you are looking at.
