OK so I added oil to my belly pump reservior today and got more lift out of my loader! That is the good news. The bad news is when I got it up about 4' it started spraying oil out of the right arm at the vent cap at the front of the ram. Funny thing is that one was leaking like crazy but that arm was going up faster than the other one (just about an inch or two, but still faster). The left arm vent did drip some but the right hand side was spraying enough to get oil on the hood and muffler. Needless to say I shut it down and need to figure out what is going on here. The right side cap does not look like a proper hydraulic cap, but rather like a bolt painted red. The left side cap looks like the proper style cap (square head, not the hex bolt on the right). I have a service manual for the loader coming in the mail, just figured I would share and see if anyone has any insight.
the loader did go up about 5' before the leak got me worried enough to quit.
My question is should I just put a return line on the front of the rams back into the belly pump reservior and be done with it? I suppose I will be better informed to answer that question when my book gets here (got confirmation that both the tractor service manual and the loader service manual both shipped today).
I did get a great deal on some 30wt oil at the discount auto parts store. Clearance for $2 a gallon! Going to go back and get another one tomorrow!

How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
