We have a Hyster c187 S50xl forklift at one of our high schools that is used to unload metal for the metal shop. The problem is it is leaking HYD fluid out of the starter after it is shut off. It does not seam to leak while it is running but once shut off the next morning it will have a good puddle under it. I know it has a wet bell housing as the Hyd pump is chain driven and is lubricated off of the steering return line. That line also supplies the jet pump to return Hyd oil back to the tank. The pump seam to be working ok as we have good flow on that line. The starter has been replaced 4 times now by a shop and they have given up on the lift. Any ideas? I have read a few posts on here about this subject but can not see where it was ever solved?? Thank you for any help or even ideas what it might be.
