Oil Leak - 2005 SE Banshee

[VooDooBanshee]

Hi guys-

 

Quick question...I added a TM design works case saver last week. When I was completing the job I noticed that there was oil on the countershaft (not the seal) when I took off the sprocket. Today I went out to the garage and found a little oil on the floor. I don't notice any difference in the oil level, so I am assuming that it's a small leak. My question is when this happens, what is the culprit? The oil on the countershaft was on the keyed teeth of the shaft. I notice a bit of dirt build up around that whole area, but nothing major. Is this normal? There is a little dirt build up on the shifter seal area too, but nothing looks fresh. I notice some oil on the back of my skid plate too.

 

Thank you

I just did a rebuild and noticed a small drip on mine the other day. I run the tm design works case saver also and have a billet neutral switch behind it. I retighened it and no more leak. The stock plastic neutral covers crack easily and the o ring can wear out. You might look into a billet cover and make sure every thing is snug.

Good idea! The TM says to remove the old bolts and use the longer screws provided for both. Actually after further investigation I think it was gas/oil dripping out of the tube. After a while the gas evaporated and left an oily residue. I am running klotz and it looked like fresh oil! I will still double check the neutral switch.

 

Thanks!!
