Two weeks ago I had a hydraulics leak, looked under the hood and the hydraulics cap ring was unsteated. I finger tightened, reload the oil and mowed for another 4 hours. Then another 4 the next day. Las Saturday, 15 minutes into the mow, I lost hydraulics, thinking the seal broke again.

What did I do wrong?

Is this an easy fix after removing broken stem?
What would cause this type of break? Not tight enough?
