Alfa Laval Purifier S Type

Hey folks, stumped on this issue. Just finished an 8k hour overhaul on a purifier and it started up great on test run. Later I shut it down, and used the supply pump to add some lube oil to a generator sump. In theory, the three way valve should recirculate the oil back and the purifier should have no oil sent to it. well to my suprise the lube oil was dumping out the sludge ports. Later I start it up but before the separator has barely spun up the oil is dumping out the sludge ports before the bowl can even close. super confused, three way valve not recirculating? any help appreciated
