Leak at cylinder fitting

[loggin]

Correct.

If I weld it I would unhook the hoses and drain the oil.

Personally I would remove the rod as well just to be on the safe side. Not sure what the flash point of the hydraulic fluid is but if you were reach it, it would be quite something.

Again, just my 2 cents.

It’s appreciated!
I think I’d spot weld, let it cool, and continue until I make it all the way around as not to disturb the brazed portion as nicksacco brought up.

If it gets too hot, you might get charged by ATF with making the largest pipe bomb in history.

To be clear, when i did the work on the cylinder it was disassembled, oil removed, cleaned with soap and water and brake cleaner. I also stripped off all the paint since it was going to be powdercoated and rebuilt.

The plug being out of the fitting will fix the BOOM issue.
