The hydro tank is leaking out the bottom. Seems the bottom hose was stretched too tight for too long and has warped the bottom of the tank, including the hole. Not taking any chances with it, I ordered a new one, that includes the fittings and the gromits.

Is this tank now junk. Or can it be salvaged? As in a different type of fitting? Maybe a fitting that has a nut on one side?

Also, should I try to bleed the system since I'm replacing the hydro fluid with Mobil 1, 15w 50? Or would the mobil 1 be compatable with any other?
