You need to determine where the oil is leaking from. You say it leaks from the bottom- do you mean the bottom of the vertical shaft, or bottom of the rear of the coupler? You mention 'turn them on'- do you mean turning the lever that moves that vertical shaft to lock the coupler in place? You could have a bad o-ring or two on that shaft. You can knock off the top cap, and replace those rings plus the cap. The rebuild kit, the price you mention, is not just o-rings. It includes a new 'carriage', I think it is called, maybe 'basket'- anyway- it is the metal guts of the coupler. Likely not worn out. O-rings should suffice to fix most leaks. Also, if the oil is coming from the rear of the coupler, are both the o-ring and the white plastic ring in good shape? That is the usual cause of leakage- especially if the hose disconnected under pressure. Often, one or the other part flies out upon disconnect. Big advantage to have multiple couplers on a tractor, (I have triple remotes on three field tractors, even though only one machine needs three, while several need two) or carry a few rings in the tool box, along with a pick and WD40. Easy to replace in the field.
