My 753 seems to pass oil directly into the chain case. I just replaced both carrier seals even though the old ones looked good. What happens is I put hyd oil into the reservoir and after driving forward a couple minutes all that oil has been pumped into the chain case (I assume because the chain case is full). I have not pulled the return line filter from the motors to the reservoir I'll do that tonight. I rebuilt one motor even though I don't think it needed it. When the reservoir has fluid it works great....just doesn't last very long.
