Found out 70% of hydraulic leaks happen at the fittings, not the lines

I always thought it was bad hoses or seals causing most of the leaks I dealt with. Read a report from the FAA safety team last week and it said 7 out of 10 hydraulic failures trace back to fitting issues. Now I double check every torque and fitting before touching the lines. Anyone else change how they inspect after seeing a stat like that?

Still checking lines first out of habit...
