A new o-ring was installed on filter cap as per the aircraft maintenance manual (AMM). Leak check carried out satisfactory. It was also noted that hydraulic fluid leaked inside auxiliary power unit (APU) inlet causing a smell. The APU was decontaminated as per the AMM and the aircraft was returned to service."
