servo circuit filter blocked? or pressure down on servo circuit for some other reason (collapsing hose inner/pinched hose ??) ?

Could also have an issue with the PRV (pressure relief valve) in the servo circuit -
rubber crumb perhaps preventing the PRV from closing and therefore by-passing pressure in the circuit -
could do with putting a gauge on the circuit and checking you have full and steady pressure in the system/circuit --
average is circa 35bar, but you really need to check the spec. for the machine, as some operate higher/lower pressures?
has this been a gradual deterioration or a sudden occurrence?
Gradual would most likely indicate a filter issue -
sudden could be PRV or pump issue (or even a trapped/collapsing hose)
