After noticing that my engine oil was rising
and my hydraulic fluid levels were dropping I
bought a rebuild kit for my hydraulic pump.
At the time, in addition to hydraulic fluid
getting into the engine it was also leaking
out the port where the tach cable inserts
beneath the hydraulic pump.
After the pump rebuild, the leak from the
tach cable stopped and there was no oil
leaking into the engine. Fast forward about a
year and all of a sudden the leak from the
tach cable area has returned with a
vengeance. There does not seem to be any oil
leaking into the engine.
The oil level on the dip stick has remained
steady. Here's my question. Is it possible to
stop the leak coming from the tach cable
area? I've read that a speedy sleeve or two
seals instead together can stop this. Any
feedback on whether this will work and how to
go about fixing it would be appreciated. This
site offers a used pump with a 1 year
guarantee. New pumps are well over $600.00.
If I can fix it is rather go that route.
Thanks in advance for the help! Paul
