Loader leaking

[LD1]

If one has a full container of water & inserts a broom handle into the water SOME WATER WILL SPILL OUT of glass. In your test above where do you propose the excess oil would go if there was no external oil leak?

In his example he is leaving the rod end disconnect connected.

So while it is true in his test that piston seals would be bad....it also points a leaking valve as well
