pretty sure that is what it is because i had a buddy of mine do it and he said it seemed it was down a quart which didnt seem right to me and what came out is pretty much what he put in i have operated the plow for 5 to ten minutes and there is no more leaking from where the puddle came from ....thanks kimber i apreciate the fast response i was beginning to freak out a bit lol

so i unhooked the plow again and as soon as it lowered it hppened again i popped the box off raised it and lowered again to see where it was leaking from and there is a cap on the top of the pump and that is where it gushes out from it only happenes when it is lowered it gushes out and than stops

That ''cap'' is your vent and yes you simply over filled it--happens,so don't feel bad.Just make sure this occurs again when no DEC,DEP,EPA or any other guberment money collector is nearby.

On your Boss V-Plow,

Remember plow must be in the "V" position,
in the lower position and on level ground.

You should see oil visible in your filler cap.

FYI-On the smart hitch 2 you must use the power down function for the light tower. If you pull down manually you will create an air pocket and oil
will pour out your reservoir cap.

Regards,
