You knew exactly what to do. Have you seen this problem before? I don't know why I'm shocked but I am!!

From my feeble memory, there's no o ring on the low pressure side. That side doesn't leak at all.

I just looked up Lee Manufacturing. He's about 8 miles from where I sit at work each day!! Will call them ASAFP.
I've never actually encountered it myself on the gear, but I have heard of it. I just did the research for you on google.

If the gear is o ring style on the pressure side, it will be o ring style on the low side as well. Whoever installed the gear likely removed the rubber hose from the low side fitting without taking the fitting out of the gear. I bet if you do you will see an o ring, but if you do get a new o ring first so you don't create another leak.
