Thank you for the tips though, as it gives me a hit list of things to double check!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #893842 Kiwistar98 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 28 Re:sudden oil leak 2 Years, 8 Months ago   FireFighterZero wrote: 500K?

She is from south of Christchurch a ways.   Logged     Is this not a reasonable place to park?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #893968 Starship (User) Forget me,lose nothing.Forget Him,lose everything. Expert Boarder Posts: 585 Re:sudden oil leak 2 Years, 8 Months ago   I had this happen to me and the first time the transfer case had been over filled,be sure the bike is on a lift or not on the side stand and not leaning and give it some time to get all the gear oil down to the holding area and drip out of the sight hole. My leak,for some unknown reason, was from the middle top screw of the transfer case. After several different things I put teflon tape around the end of the screw and that stopped the leak. I still think that screw should have had a washer or o ring on it but I am unable to see one in the parts view online. you will find it, happy hunting   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #893974 BikerRon (User) Sour Kraut Platinum Boarder Posts: 4189 Re:sudden oil leak 2 Years, 8 Months ago   Starship wrote: I had this happen to me and the first time the transfer case had been over filled,be sure the bike is on a lift or not on the side stand and not leaning and give it some time to get all the gear oil down to the holding area and drip out of the sight hole.

You are referring to the small plug under the large fill plug, right? If you're filling to the big hole it has too much in it.   Logged     Last Edit: 2015/06/08 10:52 By BikerRon.   ' width='450' border='0' style='max-width:450px; ' />   The administrator has disabled public write access. #894003 Starship (User) Forget me,lose nothing.Forget Him,lose everything.

It is at the correct level when it stops dripping out of the sight/inspection hole when level.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #894124 Kiwistar98 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 28 Re:sudden oil leak 2 Years, 8 Months ago   Starship wrote: I had this happen to me and the first time the transfer case had been over filled,be sure the bike is on a lift or not on the side stand and not leaning and give it some time to get all the gear oil down to the holding area and drip out of the sight hole.

It's more perplexing as it's not been filled in the last few weeks, so I'm wondering why now. I'll do the fire up and idle test to see if I can recreate it, as I'm not too keen to ride it around leaking oil in a rear wheel wise direction   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #894264 Starship (User) Forget me,lose nothing.Forget Him,lose everything. Expert Boarder Posts: 585 Re:sudden oil leak 2 Years, 8 Months ago   Mine would only leak if I had been riding and then just some oil on the side and a few drops when I would park it at home. Never leaked enough to give me concern about oil on the rear tire. I would wipe the cover and underside down and try to figure out where it was leaking from,until then I rode when I felt like it.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
