Ok for those of you who's vdrives are leaking but you want to make sure FIRST it needs removed. Here is some info I got from the vdrive manufacturer... He stated that a vdrive shouldn't leak from any orifice by design and if it does, follow these steps to find the culprit... It should only need pulled to replace the main seal to the shaft if damaged and leaking a drip ever second.. All this is hand tighten specs.. 1. Wipe the vdrive and floor under completely free of oil. 2. Make sure all oil plugs and hoses are tight. 3. Make sure the 4 9/16 pan bolts are tight. Easiest to use a wench for most of this. 4. Make sure all coupler bolts are tight. 5. make sure all top pan bolts are tight. 6. Make sure the 4 bolts of the shaft plate are tight... 7. Check oil level and correct then re-wipe down the vdrive. 8. (Optional) place a white piece of paper under drive and let sit for a day or so to see if you found the culprit.. He said you should check them at the beginning of EVERY season.. This fixed my severe leak issue, I passed it onto a couple other crew members and it worked for them. Saving the hassle of pulling the vdrive or the expense... I hope this helps some with minor/major oil leaks that were noticed in the bilge stemming from the vdrive...
