I'm new to YT's blog. I have a 1988 Ford 4610SU that I've had for about two years. I've been dealing with power steering leaks since I bought it. The one for which I'm asking your help is at the power steering pump. In the photo I've drawn an arrow pointing to the joint that leaks.
I tried and failed to print a copy of the pump parts breakdown from the New Holland website. It should be able to be opened by clicking on the link below:

Studying the parts breakdown , I'm getting the impression that the filter shown in the parts breakdown(#24) must be accessible without too much hassle. First question: To do that, do you just remove the case off the end of the assembly by pulling the bolt(#36) in the center/end? That bolt on my unit looks like it holds a banjo fitting for the hydraulic line.
I'm reasonably mechanical, but I've taken things apart before where items spring out, or just fall out, leaving me wondering how to reassemble it properly. Are there any surprises to be had here?
All I want is to get the leak stopped at the junction of the flange(#7) and the body(#1). It appears that that connection must be made by the bolts(#13) and can only be accessed from the inside. Is that correct?
Finally, is the o-ring(#5) all that I need to seal it, or is the (#6)seal required also?
Thank You,
Larry
