Wiped down and cleaned up and from what I can tell it appears to be coming from the hose in the area of the clamp. Tried tightening but it is already good and tight.
Ran it to see if leak would show up but it did not after a short run. After sitting 30 mins I think some is coming out bottom area of hose.

That clamp doesn't look original to me. If the clamp was put on a replacement rubber hose that wasn't the right fit, it might leak like that. Also might be a micro sized cut in it? Wonder where the hose originates from? I'd check the parts diagram at Messick's and see if it might help. Good luck ! collie

That’s your Hydraulic tank strainer screen.

I doubt it’s leaking there, look above on the inboard drivers side of tank.

You will see a rubber cap on an unused nipple with a clamp.

The rubber cap has been known to deteriorate and start leaking.

Poor rubber composition and has been upgraded, You will want to change it for sure.

On my X900 I had to replace the short return tube to the hydraulic reservoir. It is preformed and cracked. It may be leaking there.
