Status: online 		I had problems with the Rom valve not working at all, so I replaced it with a Robart valve. But, for some reason, it still leaks down to 0 psi after about 20 minutes. I do get about 7 gear cycles when it's fully charged. Another odd thing is the pump gauge can't readout system pressure anymore- it always reads 0 even when there is enough power left for multiple cycles. And it's not the gauge; it checked good when blocking the fill line.

Take a squirt bottle filled with some soapy water and spray it around suspect areas. Bubbles will give away the leak.
