[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 9676, member: 82"] Yes yes i know, you are all getting sick of my posts on 743s but the latest machine i'm working on i made a small boo boo. I have installed just about everything and i have been running it to get the air out. I went to give it another run yesterday and i saw a pool of oil under the chain case. I couldn't work out where it was coming from. It turns out i didn't seal the chain case covers quite well enough. I didn't think i used enough silicone but thought it would be ok... WRONG. When ever you remove these covers put HEAPS of silicone on them or you will be sorry. Especially the groove in the top, thats where i think mine is leaking from. I have patched it from the outside as best as i can hopefully it will hold as its the park brake and the pump sits rite over the top limiting access. I have the same problem with another 743 i have, i will have to fix it one day.... Just a small thing you will kick your self later if you don't do it... Trust me on that! *end rant* [/QUOTE]
