One of my forklift leaks. I would say, 3 ounces per night. Here is
what I know:

1) The fluid is red colored
2) It does not seem to leak much when it is working
3) It occurs in the middle of the lift, closer to the back. Not from
the mast.


It was hard to say where it comes from due to dirt inside. I power
washed it today with hot water, and it may help with locating the
source, but I want to check what are the most likely culprits.

Most likely transmission fluid. Fluid is cooled through the radiator
so it could be at any point to and from the tranny. A model and
serial prefix would help

I think that you got it. It's got to be trans fluid.

This is a Hyster S50E, Serial D002D13868G.
