Bruce,
Designed Aircraft hydraulic electric motor pumps, We used 20 drops per
CC, which is consistent with 1.14 gal per day. The Phosphate Ester
fluid used has a specific gravity of .975 so it is a little thinner than
water but close enough. That said, if you a dripping at 1 drop per
second you need to tighten up or replace the packing. We used a
specification of 12 drops per hour on electric motor pumps running at
8,000 RPM.

Hi Pierre,
I was interested in your comment and went to verify it, and found a
huge disparity in results, everything from the 1.14 you mention to as
much as 8 gallons per day, and some of those coming from seemingly
reputable websites.
Comments anyone?
