I would rebuild it. Done two of them so far. Works great. Make sure you clean the check valve in the lower brass fitting circuit by blowing cleaner (I used brake cleaner) through it. Otherwise it may stick open and you will suck oil into the reservoir after shutdown. Been there done that. A pain to remove the reservoir, drain the oil, replace the hoses.
