What causes hydraulic fluid to push past the reservoir breather and run down the side of it? Not a forklift, I know, but a Tennant floor sweeper I'm working on. It's an L.P. 4-cylinder Ford motor. The fluid levels are fine, and I've replaced the reservoir breather recently. I've checked the oil cooler, which is mounted behind the cooling radiator, and it's free of debris and obstructions. Any help is appreciated.

Fact of the week
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
