HPOP Resevoir cracked

[Redneck Ranger]

Hey looking for any advice on a cracked HPOP resevoir. I replaced the orings on my HPOP and I must have over tightened the bolts on the resevoir. I have a bad leak on the driver side of resevoir. I applied some JB weld and it worked for a while. As I was watching the leak, it didn't appear to be under as much pressure as I was thinking. Didn't know if its also leaking out somewhere else or the resevoir just doesn't have much pressure. It makes sense to me that the resevoir should have alot of pressure.

My question is will the RTV silicone I applied over the JB weld seal the leak, or will the pressure just blow it out?

Thanks

Just degrease it really really good one last time to make sure it is the HPOP, and replace HPOP. Sorry no no way around it.

it would be around 40-60 psi the top inspection port was not totally seated on mine and lost 2 gallons of oil in about 2 hours. I would say replace the reservoir.
