If you have a slow leak, it is in the return line as the other poster mentioned, leaking from one of the metal line fittings that POSSIBLY could be tightened as they have o-ring seals, or from the seals at the ends of the rack and comes out through the boots.

If the leak is in the metal lines, the pressure is so high, it will blow out all the fluid in seconds - I know!
