Textbook Question
Chapter 43, Problem 1SA
What is the most probable cause of a low fluid level?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The probable cause of a low fluid level.
Explanation of Solution
Low fluid level can be caused due to the following reasons:
- Low fluid level can be caused by error present in the drivetrain.
- It can be caused by the presence of any cracks in the hydraulic circuit. Presence of any leakage in the gasket.
- If there is any leakage near the seals.
- Oil pan seal leakage can cause low fluid level.
- It can be caused by any leakage around the bolts and mounting.
- If there is any leakage present in extension housing.
