Loader Bucket contoll valve leaking

[Jimmyb33]

I just repaired a leak on my hydraulic return line and then got a new leak on top of my bucket controls valve. I think this is on the safety relief. (See pic and please confirm for me) Can anyone tell me where to get a replacement for the part in the pic? Also, I assume it's quite dangerous to just stick a bolt in this hole where the part goes. Thanks for the advice guys!!

I would try a local hydraulic store like Parker it looks like a fairly standard cartridge pressure relief valve. You can always try the dealer also. You definitely don't want to put a bolt in the hole it will either bypass all the time or blow your hydraulic / hoses from to much pressure.
Once you install a new one you will have to set the system pressure not sure what the system pressure is suppose to be on your unit hopefully someone on here will know. The hydraulic shop can sometimes pre set it for you but it should be checked on your system after it is installed.

Is it just the o-ring?

I think there is a hole rusted through. You can see the pit in the picture.
