RV Particulars (Mfg, Type, Model): 2002 Newmar Dutch Star
Driveline (Engine, Transmission): Cummins 350 ISC / Allison M-3060 / Spartan MM Chassis
Miles: 78,500
Model Year: 2002
Break Down Description: About 3 miles down the road upon departing for a weekend trip, thick white smoke bellowing from engine compartment. Pulled into a shopping center parking lot. Fluid pouring down into ground and trailing behind us.
Symptoms: (Above) Engine was operating fine.
Effect: Hydraulic fluid being throw around engine compartment and on exhaust pipes cause the smoking.
Cause: Cooling Fan Hydraulic Motor Shaft Seal(s) failed causing extreme hydraulic leak.
Outcome: Called Coach Net who arranged to have the rig towed to a nearby service facilty. I had to order a new Hydraulic Motor from Spartan Chassis (Spartan P/N 0700-FF1) and have shipped overnight. Repair facility installed new motor the next day.
