[V8] Hydraulic system leakage

[Korn, Bob]

I found that most of my leaks on the hyd system were at the pressed
connection of the hose to the fitting.  Rebuilt hoses were the cure.  Of
course the reservoir hoses are standard suspects.  Careful removing
these, the nipples on the reservoir break off easily!  BTDT

Everything and anything....there are many likely culprits, the only way
to find the leak is clean the engine very well, dry everything with a
blow gun attachment (if you have a compressor), and then carefully
observe.

Common leak points are the Orings under the X caps on the pump and
weeping hoses.  Finding leaks on the V8Q is particularly challenging
sometimes because the under hood air flow makes fluids appear to come
from the strangest places.
