SUBJECT: # 13070: Problem with oil leaking from the cap on the COOL HUB on a 2000 Ranger Trail

Submitted by STRETCH1 #11051 from ILLINOIS on 5/9/2008 7:50:00 PM

Problem with oil leaking from the cap on the COOL HUB on a 2000 Ranger Trail. this leak is from around the amber colored cap and not where the cap mates to the hub. I searched this site and others and nowhere can I find what I should do here.


I drained the oil and removed the cap. It is spring loaded and looks to be in good shape. I can push the cap outwards from the inside and it springs right back.


Can anyone help? Should I just get a new cap?

    Stretch1: It's possible or likely that the cap is bad and when it springs back in place is not sealing correctly. I would call Ranger and ask to talk to the Trailer Department. They can help and should send you a new cap to try.

    If the leak was from where the cap meets the hubs, that would likely be an outer seal leak. But, if the oil is coming from around the amber window in the cap itself, that's another matter. With the older style COOL Hubs like I have, you could disassemble the cap your self. You might try this and see if you can get it to seal. But, I would still call Ranger and have them send you a new cap and then carry your old cap as a spare.
