In the course of my getting this machine up and running I had to remove the haudraulic oil tank, pump and associated lines. This seems like no problem as they are attached with very normal looking banjo fittings with copper washers. The issue is now I can't get the damn thing to seal. I think it is the line with the aluminum spacer shown in the attached photo but I am really stumped. I replace the washers ever time they are tightened, have cleaned and de-burred the mating surfaces and tried various levels of torque (does anyone have an actual spec for these?) I have tried it with washers on either side of the spacer and without, made a new spacer etc. but I keep ending up with a puddle of fluid around these connections and on the floor of the machine ever time I run it for even a few minutes. It isn't a small leak and makes a huge mess.
Ideas?
I am about to wash everything down with solvent and resemble all the lines with RTV If i had any hair left I would be pulling it out.
