[QUOTE="JeremyG, post: 132875, member: 24512"] Hi jpaul, I seem to have the same problem as you did with my LX885, oil coming out of the flywheel case dipstick tube. I've already changed the control valve thinking the low pressure warning light and sticking aux controls where an indication of a malfunction in it. Wrong! and it was costly. I hadn't even checked the oil level at the gearbox at that point, didn't seem relevant. My question to you is, how can I know for sure the issue is within the pumps before I go to the hassle of removing them? Did you do a pressure test? Is there any other way oil could find it's way in there that you considered? The oil did stop flowing out of the dipstick tube but it is clearly still full. Perhaps it leveled off with the hydraulic oil reservoir? I haven't run it since I found the oil coming out and the warning light shuts the engine down anyway. I haven't found a check valve yet. The diagram doesn't show exactly where it fits so maybe it's out of sight, and I'll find it when I do the disassembly. Hoping you can help. (BTW we're both Jeremy with a LX885 with the same issue, weirdly coincidental!) [/QUOTE]
