Recently bought a 1998 Boss Hoss motorcycle (2-wheel bike – not trike).
This bike has a torque converter instead of a clutch.
The guy I bought it from told me that the torque converter leaked a little, mostly while the motor was running.
When I looked at the bike and test rode it didn’t see any leakage then, but after the bike sat in my garage overnight got a small amount of fluid on the garage floor form the torque converter.
The guy I got the bike from told me he has never figured out where the leak is coming from and I can’t find where it’s coming from either.
Would anyone have any idea?
Is this a sign of the unit going out?
I checked the drain bolt on the converter and it seemed tight with no fluid around it.
Does seem to have a little fluid on the right side Allen bolts though.
