magnum oil leak
Hello
I have a 1996 magnum 425cc 4X4 i brought it out ice fishing last weekend and it was extremely cold last weekend, so after two days of running out in that cold i put the bike in the garage,i went out there about 3 hours later and noticed i had a major oil leak? so after removing the skid plate from underneath i noticed there's a small (factory hole)
about 3/16ths in dia. located near the crankcase oil drain plug and sorta in and under the water pump area? oil pours out of there now??,now after looking at a scamatic of that it shows a mechanical seal inside of that i think its behind the water pump? is that hole like a weep hole for the seal if it go's bad? or is there a plug suppose to be in there? i have asked two dealers and no luck? thanks.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Sorry Spawnbag, I dont have a clue. I do see that you are new here, so I wanted to tell you not to give up on a reply. Give a few more days, and bump it back to the top. Also, let some of the regulars who know their machines get a chance to read this. Welcome to the forums.

Hi thanks for the reply
i guess thats a good possibility but i have not noticed any over heating or ever had a coolant leak,but the amount of oil that leaked out was alot for a short time in the garage,its more tha just a drip,but i will look for oil in the coolant.i have a digital pic of where this hole is on the bike but i don't know if i can post a pic here or not?
thanks again.
