Default Oil in belt drive

I have a 2002 Cam-Am Quest 650. Oil got in the belt drive housing and I took it to the dealership to get fixed. They just cleaned the housing out and put the new belt on it that I provided. After riding it for about 5 miles it began leaking oil out of the housing. I took it back and had it cleaned out and had new seals put in. Got it back and after 15 miles of driving, the oil is back! That is 2 months int he shop and nothing to show for it. What is causing this?

You can take all the "shootouts" and put them in one bucket and you won't have beans.

I can only see two sources for oil in the CVT housing. It is either engine oil or final drive oil. And the only way either can get in is if the shaft seals are leaking. A long shot is that something is leaking out of the top front of the engine and getting into the CVT air inlet. Long shot. See what kind of oil it is and you will go a long ways in finding the source. Good luck.

How do I tell which oil it is?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] If I had to guess it looks like regular engine oil. It is a dark brown/black color. Like I said in my previous post, I took it to a dealer to have the seals replaced and low and behold when I get back (for the second time) the oil got back into the CVT.
