While we have all the lift experts here in one place; may I ask your opinion on what's going on here.
I've got a simple Chinese made scissor lift that looks like and is even the same colour as a Bendpak. Looks like the one in the pic below.
It lifts up fine, but when I'm lowering it foamed up hydraulic oil comes out of the breather on the fluid holding tank.. I can have the oil level low so it doesn't "boil" over but I can't lift the car as high. I've bleed out the system a number of times and taken the holding tank off to look for anything add. But no success. Any ideas?
