moto 4 350 oil on drive shaft
Hello guys I'm new to Atv's and the site. I am a shade tree mechanic and it just takes me twice as long to wrench than it does a pro. I just picked up a Moto4 350. Not sure of the year.It runs well. But needs work. My question is why is the drive shaft covered in oil. It looks like it has been like that for a long long time. I rode it for a little bit last night and parked it in the garage. In the morning there was a quarter size oil spot on the floor.What do i need to do to fix this? thanks Mike

Engine oil or gear oil? The oil seal out of the angle drive from the engine does sometimes leak on these machines and it is an absolute swine to replace, as it is fitted on the inside of the case. So swinging arm assembly, then angle drive box, has to come off, followed by striping the box and changing the seal. If it is gear oil, it will be coming out of the diff, probably the pinion seal. So rear axle and diff assembly off to replace that. Much easier to keep topping the oil up, like the previous owner did.
