you can see where it is leaking, the one the wrench is on. So today I took the top hose off, then took the second "nut" that turned out to be...dont know the name but it has an o-ring on it and a small hole at the bottom of it.

So I replaced the O-ring on it and it still leaks... any ideas?

Have you replaced the gear box recently? Examine the hoses, make sure they are bent allowing pressure to build up. Possibly debris thats not allowing the oring and nut to seal completely.

Haven't touched it, then started noticing the leak. Hoses seem fine, When i took off the bottom "nut" i did notice some debris, not sure where that would have come from.

That whole area has to be clean for the O ring to seat properly.
