Oil leak bomford hedge cutter

Tileman

Hi I have an oil leak in the valve chest of my hedge cutter. Pretty sure it is the o ring needs replacement in the under plate of the splice at the under cap..
Can I replace it in situ or do I need to remove the bolts holding the three splices together.
It’s a Kontak valve chest.
Thanks for help

Cap on the end of the slice can be in situ. All the others have split if I remember correctly. Any photos of where it's leaking odd size of o ring too from memory, but it's a long time since I done one.

Yea I’ll put up a picture later when I’m back down at the farm. Yea it’s a 3 slice valve block. Middle one is leaking at cap on end.

This is the valve chest . Under this in photo two is where it is leaking from cap. I opened it this evening but there is no o ring in any of them.
