[QUOTE="Mikej, post: 70570, member: 10032"] Took machine back to dealer to have seal fixed. They replaced seal on side with new drive motor, put it all back together and ran it around their yard for a while, checked chaincase oil level and determined that other seal must be leaking too, tore apart again and changed other seal. Total labor was 28 hours. WOW. Thought maybe they should have either checked both sides before tearing down by isolating each motor and running, or just changed both seals while in there the first time. Told me the back pressure from having a plugged case drain filter from motor failure caused the seals to leak. ??? Thats a lot of back pressure. In the end I only paid for part of labor but lots of traveling and missed revenue. Hope it is fixed now. [/QUOTE]
