Hello, I have owned the Magom HRC pump myself and the instructions i got from Magom in spain was that it should never be used with normal hydraulic fluid , you should use radiator coolant , also called antifreeze. it is thinner than normal hydraulic fluid and has less pressure in the hoses and cylinderes when operating.
I had the system on my wheeled loader and it also leaked like crazy with normal hydraulic fluid.

I have the same problem and I am using antifreeze. I can't get a tight enough fit on the connections. I haven't been able to run my new loader yet because the hoses leak like crazy. I am almost ready to get the crazy glue out.

i ended up gett a new set of cylinders and better fittings. they are a tad bit larger. and using retainers from robart helped so much! hope that helps?
