The reservoir must be vented - usually thru a small hole in the filler cap. It makes one wonder if those that have had problems with high pressure on both sides of the hydraulic system, after a temperature rise, might have that explained because they lack any vent in the system. Hmmmmm? Those of us with older, smaller reservoirs long ago found relief by keeping the fluid level at the "low" indication - and there was a vent. Otherwise, the vent would produce an ugly mess of congealed red fluid under the pump.
