1864 - Hydro trunnion seal leak mimics cork gasket failure
1864 started dripping hydro fluid. Rushed in to swap cork gasket between hydro and differential that looked OK after disassembly. Put in a new gasket and did a test run before putting fenders, seat, and gas tank back on. Glad I did as the oil was coming from a bad trunnion seal. Repairable but the hydro has to come apart. The oil runs down the differential exactly like a failed cork gasket. The screw driver is pointing to where the oil escapes the hydro.
