Its no problem fella ... hard to know the experience of the poster, and how much they know ? ... and sometimes to save words and typing time .. you/we/me are sometimes more brief than is helpful.
Also .. some people take the view that, rather than buying a testing kit, or paying for an engineer to do the tests I mentioned, they just throw a set of seals at one of the most likely causes in the hope that it works. Not an ideal way of dealing with things in my opinion, but even main dealers do this .. particularly when they dont know their product too well , but most usually when its still under warranty, and the manufacturer picks up the tab.
Also you have to think about how much your digger is worth and how much its worth spending on it ?
As I say every one is different.
From my professional point of view... relief valve failure on a track motor would also mean a reduced pressure on another service. That type of digger will have a fairly basic block structure. They would normally only have 3 MRVS for the whole block, so , atleast one other service would be performing poorly along with that track motor if it is a relief valve problem. Thats not to say it isnt the valve its self for the motor with the problem, as you have already swapped motors and proved that there is loww pressure in there, the question is where?. Only a pressure test will reveal that., swapping hoses on the input to the valve as I mentioned, would eliminate the orbital valve.
