Help Needed Hydraulic Leak Case 580c Backhoe

Hello Friends,

Excited to purchase a new to me Case 580C. The attached hydraulic line is leaking. (image attached) Can't tell if this is some sort, valvle, sensor, or what the part is there but it's located next to the hydraulic filter and steadily drips hydraulic fluid. Hoping to repair it or seal it up but now sure how to fix it.

Any thoughts on what the part is that's leaking and how to repair the leak?

Thank you!

I believe that is a restriction indicator sender. If the sender is leaking you will have to replace it. It also looks like an old Hobbs switch..........if so, the rating and type will be etched on the sender.
