Stopped hydraulic leak

Had a leak that seemed to keep the foot pad on the right front leg covered in a small amount of hydraulic fluid. Coach has been parked since Nov. Traced it down to a leaking hose where it attached to the top of the leg. Apparently it was due to the way it was installed that caused the hose to be bent too much where the connector was crimped on the hose.

Lucky that it was located right next to the hydraulic controls. It happened to be the shortest hose on the coach (only about 3 ft long). Had a new hose made (about 6 in longer) and installed it. The original hose lasted 5 years bent like it was, so it took a while before it started leaking. All is well now, I hope.
