Hello

Have a Snoway and it seems to have a leak under the reservoir but I have replaced the tank and the o ring. Still does it and cannot tell what is going on. I do not see hydraulic oil leaking form anywhere.

Anyone had similar problem?

By the way, the o ring was 35.00 and the tank 135.00. Seems a bit high.

pricing seems right for any Snoway repairs/parts I'm come across. sorry I can't help with the leak.

Usually they are famous for cracking the reservoir right where the return line fitting comes in.If you have replaced the reservoir,you shouldn't have this problem.

Is the bottom of the reservoir wet ? or is the fluid just laying on the pump mounting shelf below the reservoir.Maybe your leak is elsewhere,and just running across.

They will also tend to puke out the breather\fill cap if they are even slightly overfull.

The leak seems to be on the mounting plate of the pump/tank. That is where it accumulates. Still have not been able to find it.

Just thought someone here had similar incident.
