Hi, Thanks for all the info! I just picked the bike up from the popo dealer yesterday and so far so good. It was 115.00 for the parts and labor to fix the leak. They replaced the metal cover and seal and so far no leaks. It seems like there is purple grease around the cover where the gasket goes. It's like they used it on the gasket on the main cover, to maybe help seal it?? There is also some grease around the input seal which I believe is to help seal it also. I have never see them use it around the cover before. Is this normal for them to use the grease/seal combination? Thanks for any info!!

 

I use grease sometimes to hold a gasket or rubber bead in place during assembly.

 

Purple grease is most likely the standard Polaris grease too FYI. used for the zerks on the IRS, u-joints, etc.
