Tarrenitup82 Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 After one rip up the hill at the dunes I come to a stop and my vent tube in the clutch cover is pissing oil..?!? Also coming from the coolant transfer tube, leaking thru the hole under the carbs onto the ground. I’m wondering if anyone has had this problem or if they know the fix. I’m thinking the clutch cover is damaging the o ring on the transfer tube, and the seal for the crank case vent is bad. SEE IN PICS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

375hp banshees Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 The o-ring doesnt seal on the end, just clean it up so when you put it on it doesnt cut it ... is the oil vent leaking there, or out of the hose. is your rear vent free& clearSent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarrenitup82 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 It was leaking from the vent hose coming from the clutch cover and in between the case and the transfer tube that connects a coolant hose to the head. When I install the cover it messes up the o ring so I think that is my issue. But why is it coming out of the vent( a lot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
375hp banshees Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 There's another vent @ the rear motor mount, make sure it or it's hose is not pluggedSent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarrenitup82 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Will do. That would make it come out of that clutch cover vent hose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
375hp banshees Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Yes, if the other one is plugged or if the hose isn't routed high enough. are they T'd together, how do you know its that one that's leaking?Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarrenitup82 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 I have the one from the rear of the motor and the clutch cover t’d off and just went up by my radiator as vent. Do I have it routed wrong. Or Is my cover damaged where there transfer tube meets the o ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
375hp banshees Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Thats routed correct . It's leaking up there? If so, how do you know which vent is leaking?. Cover is a separate issue unless its over filling gearbox with coolant. Looking at the picture, I would just smooth out the sharp edges & maybe put a little bit of silicone on the o-ring ( to lube it & seal it if it does get messed up) and that should be OKSent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarrenitup82 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 So a new o ring for the transfer tube? And file the cover when it’s sharp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarrenitup82 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 I’m just confused because an aftermarket cover doesn’t have a vent hose. But when I plug it it comes out of the transfer tube onto the block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarrenitup82 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Should the cover just slide on easy or have to put some force behind it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
375hp banshees Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Oh, If it's leaking oil out of the transfer tube, your gaskets not sealed their. Iirc the gasket goes around the tube to seal oil splash. I thought you had a coolant and oil leak , the o-ring is for coolant only.If your rear vent is clogged & you plug the cover vent it will build pressure & leak @ any weak spot. which that gouge on the outboard side of the o-ring would cause oil to leak out.You can try & epoxy it back into shape, silicone it ( let dry before trying it), silicone the tube to the case so the oil that gets between case & tube cant come out, or get a new cover Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
375hp banshees Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Should the cover just slide on easy or have to put some force behind it Depends but that would be mostly due to o-ring drag ( or lack of) , which would be coolant leak. A lot of people think oil and/or coolant is leaking and it's actually your carb. dripping & running through that drain hole you referred to earlier. But looking @ that gouge again thats your problem& possibly a venting issue.Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
