That plug that you have leaking is the bleeder plug. Its a taper thread pipe plug. It should seal easily. If not, try the Teflon tape, just keep the tape on the threads, not on the bottom of the plug. [Reply]  [No Email]

If that is the case, then the plug you mention is on the pump output. OK to take it out and use a good sealant on threads, but teflon tape is not recommended, at least by many, since it is so easy to introduce slivers of it into the hydraulic flow circuits, where it can cause malfunctions. The plug in question is probably where the clear hose is connected on this piston pump. [Reply]  [No Email]
