Tim Bancroft Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Check that the gearbox breather is not restricted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I'm with Tim, on check the breather first. However if oil is finding its way out it wil probably continue to do so. I would use PTFE tape on the thread or a Locktite "Studlock" type product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
