Re: hydraulic pump 200q

Don+ADs-

    A lot of these pumps seep fluid at the caps. I doesn't mean the pump
needs a rebuild, as long as you can live with the fluid loss. A small leak
at a cap will not adversely affect the pump operation.
    I have seen the groaning noise mentioned in several posts, but I have
never had that problem, so I can't help you there.
