There's a "fitting" on the motor that goes into the crankcase and supplies pressure to the remote oil tank. It's a combination check valve and let off valve. It isn't letting off, and keeping the system presurized when shut off. It should normally let the air off the remote oil tank in a couple of minutes after shut off.

That part's your problem.

Hope it helps
