[QUOTE="wd2011, post: 49581, member: 5900"] I did fill it to the bottom of the threads on the plug in front, 10 gallons. I also should mention that the machine was not run at all in between the time we filled the chaincase and the time I noticed the leak, overnight. My first thought was the drain plug, but I RTV siliconed it when I put it in, and I also couldn't see how that could cause leaks from the belly up toward the front of the machine. We still have it torn apart with the cab off. So the leak is coming from a non-pressurized scenario, and is leaking while it is still up on jack stands. Is there not a seal/gasket between the motor carrier and side of the chaincase? I assumed this based on logic and the fact that the only real place I thought I could see oil leaking out of is right under the motor carrier agaist the chaincase, mind you I haven't got a great look at it yet due to the limited clearance underneath the carrier and the belly.
