While shuttling dirt around today I heard a strange noise coming from the front right wheel area; it was a hydraulic leak on the pump. The pump is just below the alternator and is actually two pumps; a big one facing rear and a small one facing front. It's the front one that is leaking. The high pressure side is on the top and is a rubber type hose. It mates to the pump via a 45 degree nipple fitting that screws into the pump and the hose screws into it. This nipple is what is leaking, not at the base but further up and where I think it's not a threaded part but is molded or welded? I'll post a photo here:
The screw points to the joint that is leaking under high pressure.
This photo is zoomed out to show the location in relation to alternator, etc.
I think this smaller pump is for steering and also has something to do with the bucket. When I lift the bucket certain ways or steer to the left or right stop, that's when I hear the noise.
Anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this?
