• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

TE630 - Minor Hydro Clutch Lever Leak

I'm getting some seepage around the clutch lever piston. It's nothing major, and the clutch action is as smooth as ever. I checked the fluid level; as soon as I cracked the seal on the reservoir cover, fluid started pouring out. I didn't even get the cover completely off. I had the reservoir level. It was almost as if it was under a little pressure. So, I know the fluid is good & full.

Is it normal to get some fluid past the seals in the lever piston?
 
I would say that it's not normal, but then again it's not usually normal to have positive pressure in the clutch fluid reservoir. Now that you have removed that pressure, keep an eye on the master cylinder and perhaps the leak will be gone also.
 
Experienced the same issue with my TE510 and it was mentioned that the wear on the clutch plates contribute to the additional fluid volume and pressure. Drained a bit as you did and never had the problem again.
 
I'm going to crack it open tonight and make sure all the excess fluid is gone, per the dealer's suggestion.
 
I opened it up and used a syringe to take out a little bit of fluid. The manual for the Magura clutches says that the fluid level should be 6mm from the top of the reservoir. I'd say it was a tad high.
