The right-hand end goes into the pump side but no o-ring was supplied with it. Do you think it should have one?

Yes, I am pretty sure its an ORB fitting. Take it to a hydraulics shop and they will fit you with an o-ring and the leak will be fixed.

Thanks. I can't believe they didn't supply it with the part in the first place and then sent the part without the o-ring...

Am I going to have oil going everywhere when I take this apart to get it sorted?

I don't think you will get a big flood of oil if this fitting screws into the pump. If it was going into the tank, that could be a different story.

I would take a few good photos of the port on the pump to take to the hydraulics shop. With the photos and your fitting they should be able to sort this out quickly.

It's a shame the lift manufacturer did not include these vital parts with the original shipment.

It looked like there had been a part there and it was removed. Sending it without the part required for it to work is bad enough but then sending that part without the ring... Unreal.

Thanks for the help. I looked at it this morning and the paper towels I had put under the fitting were soaked.

I visited a local place and they gave me a washer with a rubber seal built into it that they reckoned would do a better job, so I've fitted it and I'll see how it goes tomorrow.
