A nut backed out off a oil pump line. Is it as simple as tightening or is there an o-ring in there I have to replace? I'll look at my parts list when I'm near it. Thought I'd ask now.  | ||

No o-ring. Try tightening it a little, but not too much! It threads into aluminum. If still leaks, use a little plumbers tape. I replaced mine at a local hydraulic shop who makes hydraulic lines for farmers and truckers. Made of braided line, I know, Overkill! But they sure look nice.

Better not to use plumbers tape ,but there is some kind of locktide available for pipe thread. | ||

looks like it backed out. I tightened it up and so far no leaks. I might back it out and use some Loctite that doesn't harden. | ||
