Hydraulic leak - Technical Troubleshooting discussion in Forkliftaction's forums

Cat Lift Trucks (& Caterpillar) T40D:
Hydraulic leak

Hello Everyone,

The truck has been running really well. I was able to replace/overhaul some cylinders.

The problem I am having now is a hydraulic leak coming from where the engine meets the transfer case. I see the leak dripping from what looks to be a black steel plate where the starter is mounted.

Is it possible the gear pump is leaking and oil is running down internally? It leaks more after heavy use.
