RAN GOOD AND HARD LAST WEEKEND, STARTED IT UP THIS WEEKEND ALARM WENT OFF, PULLED IT OUT OF WATER TO CHECK PLUG DIDNT COME OUT. FINE CHECKED TOP SCREW OIL THERE, FILLED IN BACK UP . ACTUALLY A LITTLE HIGH AT END OF DAY EVERYTHING FINE.


WTF

WHERE DID THE OIL GO ? WAS IT AN AIR POCKET?

Recent service? May have had a bubble down low.

Now the level is high after running it..........pull the lower plug and check for water. Oil floats.

NO WATER

Check out the prop shaft, just a thought.

Got a friend that is also losing oil in his drive. While on the lift one day I noticed oil seaping out of the right side of the drive where it mates to the bell housing. Figured it was the O-ring for the resevoir. Pulled the drive and replaced the o-ring. Still losing oil, any ideas?

The prop shaft can loose oil and it is never seen unless on the trailer of a while. If in the water it may never show.

Pinion shaft seal has crept out of the carrier and burned up on the u-joint knuckle. Time for new seal with the upgraded carrier. The oil is sitting in the bellows.
