Ahaub8 Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 So i just picked up a 01 banshee and been riding it well other day i noticed it was dripping oil from the bottom case so i put it on my lift and long story short there 2 holes on the bottom case that go all the way through to the top. (One in between the heads and the other one is just below the stator cover) the dude who i bought it from JB welded the bottom hole so i thought i needed new cases but i fpund out theyre suppose to be there to allow grass, water, etc to pass though rather then pile up underneath the carbs. My issue is im 99% sure i was dripping oil out of that hole what should i do? Everyone says not to weld the holes but same time i think thats my only fix to stop the leak i cant submit photos cause theyre over 52kbs but im sure the holes are in any banshee, but isn't it harmful to have holes in the case especially when i plan on doing some dune riding?

ginger Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 if its leaking through the one, thats by the rear of the cylinders, its most likely your carbs leaking and its working its way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahaub8 Posted June 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Okay cause it wasn't leaking the day i got it it just did it the other day so i parked it and was gonna pull the motor to get them welded shut but i didnt even think of that (intake manifold does have a bit of oil on it so i 100% agree) but i shouldn't worry about those holes when i go to the dunes in a couple weeks?

ginger Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 im not sure where your second hole is, but the one on the top of the cases is so if the carbs leak or anything it doesnt pool on top of the cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawa110 Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 You need to post picsTapatalkThe hole on top of the case that goes all the way through is supposed to be there. That hole is most likely where you carbs are dripping onto the cases then leaking down though to the bottom. Leave it alone. Get ur carbs fixedIf you have a hole that is JB welded....then good luck. You can attempt to weld the aluminum but it is oil soaked and is 98% chance it won’t work. You can try more job weld or even an epoxy. Buy a set off cases and swap everything.

Burt Reynolds Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 I used a small piece of screen from a broken door and jb weld back in 2006 to fix a quarter sized hole in a banshee case. It’s still holding today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
