I was hoping someone here might be able to help. I went to Lowes, Northern Tool and Tractor Supply today and got nowhere. I have this 20 yr old splitter and was using it today. It was fine...then I moved it closer to the logs and started it back up. It was on level ground. As I was using it I noticed it was squirting red hydro fluid out it's filler nut. Any clue why this could start? Is there anything I am not telling you to help give advice?
Please help

It's not level and you have positive pressure pushing out fluid due to bad seals.

Don't know. It's 20 years old and otherwise works. Just get that part of the tank a tad higher and see if it quits

And to answer the question of "what seal"... All of them.

hope ya can figure it out.
I found really quick those 3 stores are prolly the last places to go to find out repair info.
small engine repair places are usually a better chance for parts and service.
I have one near me that the owner/mechanic just blows me away with his information and willingness to help diagnose problems.
and always willing to point out where an aftermarket part may be better than OEM and even info to make reassembly or repairs easier.
Ever watch King of the Hill? Your comment reminds me of the Megalomart store that ran everybody out of business. Funny I told my wife the same thing then I read your comment.
Gonna try today to move it where it was when it didn't have a problem.
