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. Just trying help |

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

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.
