Leaky Fluid Reservoir
Hello, as my very first posting, I am hoping to learn a thing or two about the fluid leak on my hydraulic system. Having bought my '03 Montana recently, I've been working myself through her with a fine tooth comb, and so far I can say everything looks great. Upon finding a persistent drip at the contact point, where the fluid housing meets the body, tightening the four bolts did not correct the problem so I decided to remove the fluid and replace what I thought would be a traditional gasket. No gasket in place, at least not the type of gasket I expected. There is a round rubber seal around the pumps body but, seems like a traditional gasket should have been in place. Looking for some experience at this point, including the appropriate torque rate of the 4 bolts that hold the fluid housing flanges.
