Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tazza" data-source="post: 7385" data-attributes="member: 82">Chain case fluid is checked by removing the big nut at the front of the chain case where the bobtach is. Get on the ground and look at the front behind the bobtach, its about 1 1/8". The level is correct if on level ground, oil just trickles out or you can feel it with your finger. If its white i needs changing as you have water contamination.That hose is OEM, leave it alone if you can. Changing it is a bit difficult as its quite stiff, the only way i could un-do it was to remove the bolts on the pump and pull it off that way when i needed to remove the pump. Depending on where its leaking you can put 2 more clamps on it. It may also help to ask the dealer what they think. The new hose may be flexible enough to install it without removing anything i know know my old one was too stiff.Oil, ANY standard car engine oil is suitable. NEVER use hydraulic oil, its too thin. You want 10W30 to say 20W50.</blockquote>
