[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 263886, member: 3278"] Sound like the warmer weather built a little pressure in the gearcase and you have identified the fact that it leaks prior to having an issue with it. If it were mine I would remove the gearcase, drain the oil and pressure check the gearcase at around 2-3psi pressure - no more. Spray a little soapy water around each seal and you should see the leak. If not, submerge the gearcase while pressure checking and the leak will show at that time. [/QUOTE]
