John Deere 820 hydraulic leaks

Hello all!

Any advice about a few hydraulic leaks in a 1973 John Deere 820. There is a leak coming from the base of the steering column and another on the right side below the seat from a small metal line (presumably a hydraulic return).

There is a gasket, steering column to clutch housing, that might be leaking.

Which line, I see three, the one to the left, looks like it might be leaking. Fitting to block uses an o-ring, line to fitting is flare (JIC). Have you tried to tighten it?

Thank you!

It appears to be the far left line. My brother was driving it and sent me the photo. I asked about tightening also, so I should hear back in the next few days.

I'll order some gaskets and make a weekend out of it!
