oliver 1650 hydraulics

[andydap]

hi everyone, my oliver 1650 diesel is leaking hydraulic fluid i believe into the transmission at a gallon each time i use it. has happened before and it was the hydraulic pump which i replaced and the leak stopped. that was only about four years ago and its hard to believe it failed so soon but its the only thing i can think of that would cause the problem. is there any other possibility or is there an additive i can use to stop the leak going past the seals?
thanks for the help.

Not that I know. I go known if you use trans/hyd in the rear end and make a suction pipe to an inch from the bottom you can stop worrying about the seal. Bit of a pain but the system they used was not that great.
