I got a new bike and kicked it over to see if there was spark and some oil started coming out of the rear , thought was a dumb ass and bought a bike with a messed up case then really followed the trail to where it was leaking and there is a bolt missing on the top of the case, underneath the swing arm linkage , I can't post pictures on here for some reason but if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated , I'm just looking for a size on that bolt and also maby a thread size / count ?

WTF??? There is no "overflow". There is a white plastic trans vent at the top rear of the case. It is located directly below the steel tube for the rear motor mount. Even if that's missing, the only time trans oil should come out is if you tip the bike completely vertical onto the grab bar. There is no bolt for that vent. The only bolts on top of the case are the case bolts that each have a number beside them, and the bolt that holds the clutch cable bracket down. There are no other bolts. If one of those are missing, there is no way trans oil should be coming out the hole while kicking. If oil is coming out the trans vent while kicking, you may have a leaking crank seal. You better do a leakdown test before you go much farther.

How should I go about doing a leak test ? And it's weird oil only comes out somtimesand I've traced it back to the hole below the top swing arm / shock mount

At the top of this pic you can see the white plastic vent under the steel tube for the motor mount. Is that what you're missing? If that's where the oil is coming out... It shouldn't be, while just kicking it over. Now if you stand it up on the grab bar, then, yeah, oil will pour out if you don't have the proper vent hose attached.

That's the one . Doesn't come out to much but every few kicks / pushing it from one side of the garage to another some will come out . I appricate you spending your time to help man. What do you think I should start off doing to stop this problem
