Do you have the old round style reservoirs? sounds too easy but if wasn't for the lube in the bellows and was just the bilge that would be the obvious. good luck

I have the new style bottles and i check the bottle and lines and they're dry.Took apart the upper and the input shaft seal was damaged when it was installed from the rebuild back in july.the yoke assembly has a groove from the seal on it from the rebuild.Guess i better call the manufactor since they do the rebuild.Here we go again.
