Default Leak in a Hyster forklift

One thing I can tell you about older HYSTERS with oil clutches is that it uses
one tank, one hydro oil for everything. there's a spray nozzle that wets the
clutch. A common problem with this configuration is that it uses a suction
pump (jet pump in HYSTER terms) to evacuate oil from the bellhousing. it is
prone to getting plugged by debris. When this happens, you end up with oil
running out the starter housing. The jet pump is an aluminum boox attached the
bottom side of the bellhousing. remove the return tube and clean the orrifice.
That should solve your problem.
