I had made an assumption that fluid coming out of the N2 side of the accumulator would mean there is a ruptured diaphragm, however the N2 pressure meets specs at just below 12 bar. The accumulator is 2 liter, if the diaphragm ruptured there would be very little pressure when the accumulator filled with fluid. I think the entire RAS is around 6 liters of hydraulic fluid. That is why the manual says "If the pressure reading is less than 20psi, replace the accumulator." I can't wait to hear the explanation of where the fluid came from when testing the accumulator.If you place a pressure gauge on the hydraulic block, what is your “hydraulic pressure”?
