Ran out of hydraulic fluid?

I'm thinking there's a pressure tank and the fluid is dumped over the side after it does it's job? I'm surprised they're not using a pump to re-circulate the fluid but would add weight and complexity.

Still they should have one for figuring it out and I'll be keeping my fingers crossed the next launch has a good landing in it's future.
