oil leak

[xX90BANSHEEXx]

im new to the banshee scene. i just got mine a couple days ago. so for i love it. but everytime i start it up oil comes out of the hose behind the waterpump. this hose isnt connected to anything. there is also a hose with a T from the radiator for the overflow i figured thats where it went but still oil comming out. whats wrong?? and is there supposed to be a overflow bottle?? b/c i dont have 1. if there is do i need it?? the only reason i asked is b/c i found a water bottle relocation bracket in a magazine.

 

thanx

did you buy it used or new?

Water bottle relocater is only if you remove airbox or don't want water to overflow when hill climbing. I don't know what those hoses are for exactly. Have you checked the oil? Maybe it has too much in it. What color is the oil. If its milky, then your water pump could be leaking and overfill you crankcase.

yea i bought it used. its a 1990. thi kid i bought it from decked it all out for racing. 2-1 carb, no airbox, k&n filter, no overflow bottle, bored out to max, etc....

no milky oil. do i need the bottle? i plan on using it mainly for trail riding. some sand dunes every soo often and drag racin, some track.

if your oil level is to high it will leak out of that hose. the trans takes 1.6 quarts.

you don't need the overflow if you keep your eye on the coolant level
