vdrive oil leak?

[brain_rinse]

Anyone had issues with their vdrive leaking a little oil? The bottom side of my vdrive is always wet with oil. Only a few drips into the bilge per season, so nothing major, but I'm wondering where it could even be coming from. I tried to snug up all the bolts and plugs but none were loose. Any ideas?

yeah, I've noticed it a bit as well.. i usually can notice the oil when i have water in the boat, easy to see then. i always check the dipstick, never seems to get low though.

Mine was leaking from the output shaft seal maybe elsewhere on the back side. Also from the pressure sensor. Had to put a paper towel on the floor to determine where it was coming from. But I had to add oil to my unit so I know it was leaking.

Did you fix it or dealer?

they replaced the vdrive under warranty

mine was a leaky fitting on the pressure sensor, just teflon taped it and tighened it up and good to go.

Just checked the sensor and that seemed to be fine... bummer, that would have been too easy.

Mine leaks at the bottom plug a little. used teflon tape last time but it still does it.

Are you talking about the square head drain plug on the back port side?
