    Power Pole Residue

    Is it normal for some of the yellow fluid from the pumps to escape over time? I get a residue of dry yellow fluid on the floor of the bilge area along side my 2 pumps that develops over a couple of months. I cannot see where the pump is wet in any area or leaking. Is it just venting?

    Mine did not leave a residue for a year now they leave some, but levels are still the same as before... so watching this thread for sure. If I drive through the rain or have the poles stuck in the mud it seams worse.

    I know. It's weird the levels seem to stay the same. That is why I figured they are just venting from natural bleeding from use.
