[QUOTE="netgypsy, post: 79428, member: 9769"] Mine had the same problem - no visible oil leak but TONS of oil in chain case - 12 gallons actually. You may have already done this but we raised the machine using the bucket, put jacks under front and back, removed the front wheels, removed the access plates for the motors and the other cover, raised the cab, climbed inside (need very small person) and cleaned and dried every single thing in there. We lowered the cab, added enough oil so it was visible on the dip stick, used a really strong flashlight, lay down outside far enough away to be safe and raised and lowered the lift arm. NOW the leak was visible. If everything is wiped clean and dry you can then raise the cab again after you have equalized the pressure and you can see the path of the leak and get a much better idea where it's coming from and go from there. Mine was the test port hose leaking gallons. A pain to get off and replace but so far no more leak. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
