[QUOTE="jason m, post: 8922, member: 1151"] well i removed the side cover to day and saw the chain drive, all i can say is wow. it looks like it was brand new, all the chains are fine and the theres not a drop of rust. now to the leak, i looked at the bearing re-tainer plate and noticed the flat seal the sits up against the wall of chain drive there was a piece of the gasket missing or not there. i left the retainer plate alone but i cleaned the top of retainer plate with brake clean and applyed some blue gasket sealer on it. i built it up with a couple coats or layer's of sealer, let it set-up and took it out for a test run. its not leaking now, so all i think it was is it was missing some gasket allowing the oil to plash down onto the shaft behind the gasket seal. i ran it for about a 1/2 hour and nothing, so i guess this is solved ( crossing fingers ). now my other two qeustion. were is the hydro oil fill, is it part of the drive train oil. if so what grade of oil does it take because it is low. the other is, is there two gas tanks one on eather side, one i know for sure because the fuel pump runs from it and that where if ill it. the other smells like gas but im not sure because the guy before me might of put gas in thinking it was a gas tank but really is a hydro tank ( YIKE's ). i know i know get a service manual, i will but in the mean time i kinda need to know. thanks for the help, jason.
