Oil Leak 96 blaster

[Hillbilly_Proud]

well it may have just been overfilled the whole time

 

[Hillbilly_Proud]

But u gotta try to get all that old fluid out, or at least i would

 

[intillect]

yeah i opened the oil pump hole and tipped it a little and drained all that crap fluid out so tomorrow i am gonna drain the case and fill it to the correct level with atf fluid. How much needs to do in there. And i will also see if there is a leak anymore which i bet there isn't

There is a drain plug under the engine to let all the oil out, pull it out tonight and leave it open til tomorrow then refill it

alright thanks and i will fill it with red atf fluid so i will know for sure if anything new is leaking. Something that i don't understand is that if it wasn't in the crank case then where was that fluid and how was it being pumped out.

It just may have not mixed in the crank case, the whole crank case is connected inside except where the crank is under the piston, so the oil is all inside there

But the trans fluid and this gray fluid were different and they weren't combined. I don't think that they were in the same space ever unless the gray fluid just barely came in and was then pumped out.

Well the vent ontop comes from the transmission fluid, so if it was coming from that vent, then its from the tranny

 

[intillect]

yeah how does that vent work and is the vent activated by it being overfilled with fluid

Any time you have gears moving in oil it will create pressure and it will need a vent so it doesn't pop out seals.in your case the tranny was over filled pressure built up and it went out the vent. That's how it's getting pumped out

The vent is nothing more than a hole

Makes sense thanks so do you think that it was just overfilled and that is what leak was so the previous owner was kinda creating his own problem.

Exactly, u should drain it now and refil real fast so we know I:I

 

[intillect]

haha its draining as we speak and i will refill with fresh in the morning and run it up and down the trails at my house then let you guys know if there is a leak or not how much atf fluid needs to go into the trans.

 

[Hillbilly_Proud]

650ml, about half way up the sight glass

 

[Hillbilly_Proud]

remember to check the sight glass about every 5 mins, dont wanna run it outa fluid then fuk the tranny

 

[intillect]

yeah i planned on checking the level after ever lap of the trail which is like 1/4 mile long

 

[Hillbilly_Proud]
