I have gotten very tired of the leak and now I want to get it fixed… So first I should ask, is there supposed to be hydraulic oil in the plug (circled in red) on the top side of the steering valve? Right on that cap (circled in blue) beside the plug is where it seems to be leaking all the time, really bad when it’s running and only a drip when parked and cool. I know there’s a gasket on the cap that is bad but not for sure if that should make a difference. It will drain the reservoir in 3 to 4 days without running it. Thanks, Gavin  ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |
