How much do you think an oil pump would use if you were running ATF for an
independant PRSU system ?

I think it is like this: power is volume times pressure.
Unfortunately, I am a metric guy. e.g.

Say: 1 litre / sec * 1 MPa = 1 kW. Then you have to divide by the efficiency.
1 l/s is a lot. It is 60 Litres per minute, 1 MPa is also a lot it is 10 bar
roughly, or 145 psi.

Say you have 30 litres / minute and 100 psi, it would be .5 l/s * .7 MPa = .35
kW
This divided by perhaps .85 efficiency gives .41 kW or .55 hp.
