[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1239617, member: 9096"] I guess you could disconnect the line from the pump to the servo unit and put an adjustable restrictor in it, with a guage in front of that, as you close the restrictor the pressure should go up, I don't know what they're designed to run at, but you should be coming close to 1000 PSI. If you pull the pump off and take it apart, as Hook wrote, you may see it just needs some new seals, which would be the cheapest way to go, while it's apart you can take some feeler gauges to it and test the tolerances and check for bad score marks. Kingfisher and Lavacarancher both make good points too... inlet strainers, filters, can be plugged (some have a filter in the reservoir, if it's plugged it'll suck air from the top of the reservoir, causing the milky look), and depending on how the hoses are routed, there *could* be an air leak into the system that doesn't show up as an oil leak. Lastly, a jammed pressure relief valve could cause it not to build up pressure, but that's pretty darned unlikely [/QUOTE]
