Just bought a Ford 3000 Diesel. Ran it about 5 hours with no problems. Today fluid was coming out of a hole in the top of the anadolu power steering unit after approx 30 min of running .I am not sure if the hole was in the cap when I started or if the hole is the problem. Is this system pressurized and the hole is the issue or do I need to clean a filter? Anyone know where I can get a manual of the anadolu? Any help is appreciated.
 
Problem solved via shadetree engineering. I removed the incoming line fixture from reservoir and found that the previous filter was soldered to the inlet. Due to this I knew finding a replacement would be impossible. So I went to lowes and looked for something that looked close. A foot valve in the plumbing section looked similar. I removed the mesh cage from the foot valve, filled it metal window screen and soldered it to the inlet valve. Tractor now runs like the day I bought it.
