Any idea what's up with the hydraulic oil on this JD310SG? After running it for a month it works fine, and the level seemed about right in the sight glass when I got it....maybe a little high but not much. But it seems to be creeping up. Tonight I checked a couple hours after shutting it off and still can't see any air space above the oil in the sight glass. Guess I'll let it cool off overnight - although it doesn't seem to run hot. Anyone have any info?
Other than that it seems to run fine.

After running the oil will expand some, but are all your booms in the neutral position?( buckets flat on the ground)

What Catdozer said.
Also, if you have a suction side air leak the oil will become aerated and the small air bubbles will displace the oil, but this symptom usually settles out overnight.
I check my oil with all cylinders retracted.
