Well, sometimes the engine lifts, sometimes it doesn't.. I discovered that there is a leak in my hydrolics system. Looks like one of the tubes that comes out of the bottom of the Hydraulic Pump assembly is leaking. It seems to only leak when the motor is in the down position. Makes sense, since that's when it's under the most pressure.

So my question to you is HOW do I fix this?? Is this a common thing? Should I take it to a shop, or is this something that I can fix by tightening a bolt? I don't dare dig too deep into it because I don't want to screw it up, but if any of you have had a leak from one of the tubes (where it attaches to the Hydrolic pump (at the very bottom of the pump) I would appreciate any helpful advice you could give.

Thanks a bunch,
Curtis
