HWH repair / locating parts

[Ryan Wright]

Thanks Mike & Curt. This isn't making a lot of sense to me, then - if
no bleeding is required, I wonder why my reservoir is full and yet the
system is not working? The pump is clearly attempting to pump, I can
hear it running same as before. Wouldn't you think it would take fluid
from the reservoir and pump it right out where the leak is? A full
reservoir and non-working hydraulics is confusing, unless the pump
isn't actually pumping, but I'd think it would sound different if that
were the case.

I'm going to fiddle with it some more when I get home tonight...
