SLS issues

It's warm outside and like all young boys I've taken an interest in fixing up my 300TD.

Last fall I started work repairing my SLS. I rebuilt the pump and the valve, refilled the tank, and put everything together. Still, the bottom had a slight sag to it. Maybe it's working and I don't know it, but I had my girlfriend sit in the back and there was no movement when I started her up.

Yesterday I got under the car and took some photos. Maybe someone has a suggestion?

If I look in the tank I can see a trickle of fluid running through the system. How much fluid should be flowing? Currently it looks kind of like a water fountain.

Thanks!
