[QUOTE="Arik434, post: 99491, member: 14734"] I've been thinking about that as well. That's a good idea to try and mount something at the top of the tank, which would avoid any future leaks. I saw on one of the other threads, someone mounted a valve with some clear tubing coming out of the drain plug on the filter block and routed that back into the tank as a temp setup to see what was going on. I pulled the control valve and filter out of the frame last night, as those were the last parts still inside. Now I can get it outside (when it warms up) and give it a good power wash/degrease. I noticed that when I cracked the hydraulic lines on the lift circuit at the control valve, quite a bit of air and foamy oil came out. There was no pressure at the lift ports. I don't really what know what this means about the valve itself, but I am wondering if its possible that I just had a pocket of air stuck in there that wouldn't come out? Seems unlikely to me. More digging. [/QUOTE]
