I have a lot of trouble on my 770 blowing out the gasket between the reservoir and the base at the bolt under the filter. I've had it leak through where the bolt head contacts the reservoir and blow the
gasket out in the same place. This is close to the port that sends fluid to the filter, at least that is what I think it is. I've tried putting the gasket on dry, with rtv, and with permatex and it keeps
happening.
When I had it all apart last fall for the pump replacement, the hole where that bolt goes was damaged, so I drilled and helicoiled it so I could get it tight. It leaked nearly immediately through the bolt
hole, so I put a copper washer on there and stopped it. Today, when I got it out to do some spraying, it blew the gasket out and is now leaking again.
Any ideas why this keeps happening? It's been probably a half dozen times I've fixed this now since the first time. First time, I took the cover off to change solenoids in there and it's been trouble ever
since.
Thanks for any ideas.
