I just changed my transmission oil, filled it to the bottom thread of the filler hole, and then took it for a ride. When I returned from my quick jaunt I noticed that there was a bunch of oil leaking all over the place but I cannot find where it is coming from. It is transmission oil that is leaking but all the bolts are tight. Is there an overflow for the tranny oil? Did anyone experience this before? Please help, any information is greatly appreciated. THanks

If you filled the transmission up to the bottom thread, you probably got it to full and it is spilling out somewhere. The dipstick system that Polaris has put on this is worthless, but I would check it with the dipstick fully inserted to see where the oil is on that. On my machine, the oil level when full is a 1/2 inch below the bottom thread. Hope this helps

 

sounds like you over filled it. The fluid is probably coming out the vent tube.
