Hydraulic leak at the control

[Bluedoire]

I noticed a small leak, just a few drops occasionally a few weeks ago. Then had my loader bucket up last night holding up a piece of equipment being serviced. I realized I had a sizeable leak coming down from the bottom of the controls where the hoses attach. Took pressure off and waiting for daylight to take a better look. It's not coming from the hoses or the f

ittings from what I can tell. It looks like there is a small divot that it where it originates. Any idea on what that is and how to repair?

Without more information on the exact valve, I would say it's probably and Allen key plug, pull it and put some liquid thread sealer on it, and reinstall.

If you remove that plug to fix the leak be careful - there may be some parts behind it. I am thinking spring and poppet for load check valve.
