Discussion:
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.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
