Brian, I had the same problem some years back with my Super H. I have a three point hitch and bought a log splitter. There are several issues with using the belly pump for a log splitter. First, the pressure is only about 800 - 900 psi which isn't enough to split tough logs, but it works fine on easier splitting logs like oak. The second problem is what you discribed. The return oil has to pass back to the resorvoir through the vent/fill pipe. I could never get the oil to not leak out as I am sure you need a vent or it will blow out something in the belly pump. What I did was removed my belly pump and drilled a hole in the top of the casting to create an alternate vent. Since I did that and sealed the fill pipe I have had no leaks or oil coming out anywhere. I ended up taking the pump off so I could remove all the drill and tap shavings. Wasn't an easy job, but the results were good. Roger
