It may be as simple as a little over filling.

Oil does heat up in any hydraulic system and will expand as your pump works.

Try draining or syphoning a little oil out and then run it.

Did you vent your tank? Install a small vent tube somewhere behind your tank.

Fit a long pipe on it and keep it higher than the tank?

Chris is right, just run a pipe higher than the tank top. If you are worried about leakage you can get a filter/breather end fitting but always keep that upright and higher than the tank top. Gusto make small fittings and I'm sure they make a 3 or 4mm glass/ceramic breather end fitting that will simply push into the end of your overflow pipe.

Bets of luck

I ran out time to edit my post but as an alternative you can use a small engine fuel tank filter like this one probably available from anywhere.

Airplane fuel filters will work, that's what Fumotec supplies with his hydraulic systems.

going by the hardware store on the way home from work, what about a weed eater fuel filter?
