Leaking hydraulic steering pump

[kchace]

I have the same 275 pump on both helms. Boyh have reservoirs so shouldn't I need a cent olug on both? Helms work independently of each other.

No, one vent at the top pump only! The fluid from the upper pump flows into the lower pump. If you put a vent on the lower pump you would immediately have fluid coming out. Upper pump only!

These vents are readily available as the other folks have mentioned. I found them on Amazon, too. Check this link.
