mighty mac ls-185 log splitter

[William Treacy]

HI. New to forum. I've checked out some of the threads about this log splitter and haven't found the info I'm looking for. Hopefully someone may be able to help.
On the cross pump by behind the handle there is a little port and when splitting wood it seems to leak some hydraulic fluid. is this normal or should there be a plug or something in it. I have a pic to help. Thanks
I rebuilt carb and set idle correctly and put springs back on and replaced points with a magnito. It now purrs like a kitten.
