Default cooling fan on 93 sc400

This weekend i discovered a very slow leak from the hydrolic pump that provides fluid circulation to the cooling fan. It seems to be a very slow drip. Has anyone had this problem before?

Any suggestion how to remedy?

Is it leaking where the hose joins to the cooling fan motor? Trying replacing the copper washers for the line first. Spray it clean with some brake cleaner, top off the fluid, then recheck it.

I am not certain where it's leaking. IKt's not leaking at the fan motor, but rather it is leaking at the pump location on the engine. It's not leaking from the one line that connects near the front rught underneath the pulley. I think it might be leaking from the other line that connects to the pump. Crappy thing abolut it is that other line snakes way deep into the "hard to get to zone."
