Check to see if the HPOR is bleeding down overnight. If it isn't change the CPS.

I agree, let it sit for three days, then measure the oil level at the HPOP reservoir.

See where that plug is removed?
Check there.
Where I'm filling it, the HPOP drive will interfere with the "dipstick" that you will need to fabricate to check the level.
It should be near the top.

The check oil plug takes a 3/16" allen wrench. I use a white plastic tie wrap as a dipstick.

An allen wrench also makes a nice dipstick.
