TC -29 hydraulic oil leak

[brin]

I have notice 3 small hydraulic oil leaks under my TC-29 . I got under there and found no leaks so I figured it was leaking from under the hood and then leaking back and dripping down in 3 spots. Sure enough under the power steering reservoir i wiped the hose real good and clean and came back a few days later and hydraulic oil was coating the hose that goes directly into the bottom of the reservoir. I have a FEL on it and getting in there to see what is going on is going to be tough. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem and exactly what it is ...? O ring ? gasket ? and also wondering if I should just leave it alone and top it off each time with Hyd. fluid since it only leaks about 4 tablespoons a month or fix it ? Any thoughts ? Thanks..

My TC 40 has a replaceable power steering filter. If you can't stop your leak, maybe replace that filter while you have it in front of you and are working on it.
