Once the motor was repaired and the hydraulics refilled, bled, tightened up and bench tested, the mechanism was installed back into my Turbo. Problem solved...
learned that there are a few other failure modes:
- Drive motor overheating (my root cause problem)
- Leaking ram o-ring(s) (my other root cause problem)

- Deteriorated shaft wiper seal(s)
- Contaminated fluid
