Seems I've developed a slow leak somewhere between the drive oil bottle and the drive. Full bottle drained over period of about 8 days.
I haven't squeezed my wide body into the engine compartment yet -- but before I do, are there any "common" leak points I should look at first? It's definitely not coming from anywhere along the top of the motor where the bottle is mounted.
Thanks folks.
