I have a new to me log splitter with a two spool directional Prince valve on in. It's leaking fluid on the spring to center valve out of a hole on the rear face of the housing, under the end cap. I guess the hole is for a pressure release detent option, it's an unobstructed passage into the B work port so would be recieving full pressure with nothing to seal it aside from the retaining plate and centering spring.
This was a home built log splitter that was never fully assembled before I bought it, the previous owners had plumbed the hydraulics incorretly using the power beyond port as the return, I was not aware of this until I got it running and found the the valve to be leaking. This was a brand new valve and the parts breakdown has no mention of this hole. Any help would be appreciated.
