In my experience NPT hydraulic connections need to be really tight, especially the 1/2" stuff. The LocTite 545 sure helps though.
I use carb cleaner to get the oil off but any solvent will do. Yea the hoses will have oil in them so have an oil pan handy to dump them into.
To track down the leak, clean all the hoses and connections well and run it for a while so there is fresh fluid leaking out.
