procat hydro leaking

[uk gardening]

Hi guys.
By pure chance i was finishing off a job and blew all dirt out from under seat, and noticed a tiny amount of oil leaking on one of the pipes leading from the pump. It seemed slightly slack. I used a big spanner and tightened it up.
Do these work loose themselves ? Or is there a problem i should be looking for.
It seems to have stopped but always in the back of my head now. Its done 300 hours.

Forgot to say its the right pipe fitment which is screwed into the pump from behind it. Pipe seemed not as tight as others. Hopefully putting a spanner on it wont strip it. No sign of performance to using machine mind.

Easy fix.

Ya they can work the selfs loose time to time. Most of time it's not that that causes the problem it is what will happen if you don't catch it.

Good deal, thanks for posting, it pays to stay focused on machine.
