skeptical but since i dont have a hoist to hold the engine I needed to have shop do the pan and they suggested replacing the hose. I think any residue that may be seen is from previous ps leak before I replaced pump and hoses. I dont have any reddish drops on the floor, just oil drops. But since the shop has easier access to them with cross member dropped figured I'd look into it since it was only 1/2 hour labor.
Sounds like having a hydraulic shop replace the fittings would be a viable option if I decide to do it. Thanks.
