I have a Takeuchi TB228 that has just started leaking hydraulic fluid. I have found the location of the leak but not sure what could be leaking in this spot? I assume there’s maybe an O rings inside what I guess is called a valve body? Anyone familiar with how these work? In the picture I have taken off the fitting and was wondering if the area I have circled unscrews? Thanks

I think some better cleaning would be in order, before determining exact leak location.
A dye test will help but a big part of fixing a hydraulic leak, is determining exactly where it’s coming from.
Many mistakes have been made by many people over the years of where a hydraulic leak is, myself included.
Yes there should be an o-ring under that valve and it’s probably threaded with a boss type o-ring.

I can’t see anything, Bamaboy. I bet it’s a hose leaking. I’d clean it up before doing anything else. Or, you will create a new problem.
