If you don't get enough oil to the Charge Pump because the Hydro Filter is partially plugged up, that needs to be replaced.

Roland...my 1250 has been leaking more and more and reverse has been "iffy".
I pulled the rear clip and pulled the valves (after a very thorough scrubbing with solvent and air). The valves look brand new (38 years but I've been religious on filter/fluid maintenance although it was used and "rode hard/put away wet" when I got it).
Is there a "visual check" on the valves or can they simply wear out? They are the "button" type. The fins on the pump housing were a mess so it's hard to tell where the leak is coming from. I've long suspected it was the "L" tube from the pump to the pumpkin so any suggestions on what to do as long as it's apart?
