You guys know i couldn't go too long without having something a miss with my old girl. Anyway after sifting through I think, every gear box leak issue ever posted (my favorite titled "the crunch heard round the world"). I haven't seen one like this. Since I bought my bike it has always had a very small/slow leak. Thought I tracked it down to the upper sump but not so. Now that I have the 80w blue "redline" in the trans. I can confidently say it is the trans. Anyway the leak is was real minor and the level never changed much so it sat on the back burner. Until this morning when I see about a tablespoon or more of oil on the rear rim and just on the rear rim. Dirty and sprayed on only like 1/4 of the rim. Bevel box is dry all around. Shaft is caked with old nasty oil all the way to the seal going into the trans. back of the box box is caked all the way to the bottom by the drain plug up to the left side by the gear selector. Drained the bevel and measured what came out seemed real close. The level of the Gearbox was low so I added and cleaned both breather/vents to each box. Both were free and clear. My question is I didn't see many threads about gear selector seals failing. A few rear seals but mostly side panel gaskets. What would you're money be on?
