I have a 2005 Beaver Monterey Laguna IV w/Cat C9 400. I noticed the other day a puddle under the rear just about the battery location. I crawled under to find that the large hydraulic line that connects to the pump had loosened and was dripping. I lost about a gal of fluid. Which makes sense because my power steering started groaning. Originally the elbow of the line was horizontal and up near the frame and tucked away. When I found it, it was hanging down vertically. I pushed it back up as tight as I could by hand and then put a pipe wrench on the fitting. I thought that fixed it until a few days later when I noticed a new spot on the ground. The fitting is still leaking. I can't tighten it anymore and was wondering it maybe the nut turns on the front of the pump. So not wanting to create more problems I thought I would reach out and see if anyone was familiar with this and how to tighten it. Having trouble attaching picture.
