A nut backed out off a oil pump line. Is it as simple as tightening or is there an o-ring in there I have to replace? I'll look at my parts list when I'm near it. Thought I'd ask now.

No o-ring.
Try tightening it a little, but not too much! It threads into aluminum.
If still leaks, use a little plumbers tape.
I replaced mine at a local hydraulic shop who makes hydraulic lines for farmers and truckers. Made of braided line, I know, Overkill! But they sure look nice.

looks like it backed out. I tightened it up and so far no leaks. I might back it out and use some Loctite that doesn't harden.
