Sounds like you need to replace the bent tube or you will stress some other part like the filter and break it also.

Any pictures? How far off from lining up is it? How long is the metal tube?
If the tube is long, and it aint far off, you can bend the tubing.

Here are some pics lol.. cant figure out how to explain next to them so am posting a seperate reply,, pic 1 is the fitting that is leaking comes out of the filter housing?.. pic 2 close up of fitting .. pic 3 disregard as pic 4 shows same thing more clearly, there is a bolt that goes in the bracket that holds fitting on (bolt not in there now) pic 5 is how the tube is connected at the other end up in the arm of FEL rubber fitting clamped on both ends. pic 6 is same. pic 7 is different angle of leaking fitting.. pic 8 shows tube from front of tractor to fitting at filter..It appears that there must be some way to press the tube fitting into filter mount then secure with bolt? there is play in the tube.. on another note it seems odd to me that the rubber fitting on other end is not straight. anyhelp would be greatly appreciated be hard to get tractor to shop from where it now is
