I bought a low hour 500B powershift with a v8 510ci Perkins diesel. Gauges show I’ve got low track oil pressure. Manual states it should be 170-215psi but RH track is about 150 and LH fluctuates from 150 down to about 70psi. Power shift lube is also low. Should be 30psi but is running just over 10. I’m pretty sure that this is causing it to not like to turn to the left. It’s hesitant to lock up the left track , and the left track is very sluggish/weak when I lock the right track... Could this be the steering valve that diverts pressure from the drive clutch to the brake clutch? Is there a pressure regulator somewhere? What is the source of pressure on these units.... torque converter?
Note. This machine does not have a hand clutches. Steering is done primarily with foot brakes
Also leaks a healthy amount of atf into the bell housing, about 2L after 3-4 hours of work. Says in manual to drain every 1k hours
ANY information you can give me on this old Italian s.o.b would be appreciated
Otherwise, a great machine, undercarriage is great, hydraulics are strong and the engine runs like a top

Il try to get a pic of what the pressures are doing while driving
