Hello Jeff thank you for your reply to my post. I have drained the trans twice since I noticed the leak. The last time I installed a new plug that came with a New O-ring and tape. I installed it and torqued the plug to spec. The leak does not seem to be coming from the plug, but some where around it. any other suggestions?Did it tighten up properly? with a new plug and o ring it shouldn't leak. Are you confident it's coming from the plug?
Fluid leaks will take the path of least resistance and flow to the lowest point.
Wipe the whole bottom side down, take it for a ride and do a thorough inspection to determine the source.
I will try this today Thank youThoroughly clean the area. Use spay can of carb. cleaner (or similar stuff). Wipe area several times with rags, maybe even "dust" area with baby powder. Take a short ride, park on the side stand for a bit, then trace the wet spot uphill. Trans end cover bolts come loose (or break if holding exhaust) that could be a source.
