Thanks for the eyes-on look offer for the 5030, but I have it covered with the diagram now. The part that is leaking is attached to the HST regulator/pipe and is called a joint pipe, part #TD060-58280. The dealer suggested that I go ahead and replace everything there as long as the system was going to be open to prevent a re-occurrence in a short time elsewhere on the connection. He indicated that the leak was most likely caused by vibration which over time likely cracked the pipe.
I am getting a new pipe (TD060-58270), a new joint pipe (TD060-58280), a new joint (TD060-58290), and two new o-rings (04817-00110). Total cost less than $60, but while I am at it, I am going to be changing out all the hydraulic fluid and filters, so that will increase the cost into the $300+ range.
The good news is that the dealer is going to try and claim the parts (and maybe the fluid/filters too!) under warranty, even though I am a week out of warranty technically. The warranty doesn't cover the pickup and dropoff of the machine, though (a $150 service) and since I don't have anything capable of hauling the tractor, I'm just going to do the work myself.
Attached is a pic of what is being replaced. It is noted as 130, 140, 150, and both 160's. It should be a pretty straight-forward job.

I'm glad you found it Tinkerer. I was going to post that link on this thread too but I didn't know what Series the 5030 was so I didnt know if there was a manual for it. I cant remember who originally posted that link but I sure do thank 'em for it.

That link was incredible. I downloaded the pdf for my loader, backhoe, and the tractor. The reference value cannot be understated. Thanks again!

That's exactly that same thought process I use to remember that the fork goes on the left side of the plate and that the spoon goes on the right. Who knew that that information could be converted for use on tractors and ships? <g>
BTW, changing the line out was a snap. Leak fixed and life is good (well, except for that tire coming off of the rim in the other thread I posted in earlier...).
