This just started happening. Its not leaking from the differential. Its coming out of the overflow tube. I get a decent size puddle after every ride? What does everyone think?

Did you just fill or add to the rear end? overfilling is easy,and when you ride,it heats up,expands,and goes out the overflow.

Same thing happened to me on my 1998 Wolverine. Right after I had it serviced by the local dealer. They had overfilled the rear diff. Make sure you re-route the overflow hose, because mine always dumped ontop of the carb if it was overflowing. I ended up routing it up the rear subframe, so that it would drip on the swingarm instead of all over the carb and engine. I serviced it myself the next time, and it never overflowed again.

Good Luck!!
