Hi all Well my shake down camp trip went well the motor is running like a top. But I drove a 35 mile each way trip without a drop of anything. when i pulled into the drivway shut it down and pulled the bikes of the racks to put the camper in the garage. So it sat for about 10-15 min. From there i backed it up the drive and into the garage and we proceeded to unload from the weekend trip. I left it just hang out the front of the garage to get the back hatch open and once the rear was unloaded i pushed the rest of the way in. After it sat for about a half hour i do my look under to see if any leaks. i found 1 more forward and two from just under the seam between the engine and trans. So i wandered out to look at the drivway and found Nothing at all on the driveway. So i guess my question is could the trans be to full?? or to warm and just drop a few?? the motor is good on oil and between the 2 marks. Would or Do i need to pull the motor to inspect and or check out?? The rear main was replaced and Im positive i swapped out the input shaft seal as well. So why or where could it be leaking?? Ive got 3 weeks till drive time and i really didnt want to pull the motor again for this. my plans are to check trans fluid (its a 4 speed manual) so 90W. recheck lugs and rear hubs to make sure everything is tight. Double check the spare tire. and of course get spares to take with just in case. but if i need to pull the motor i need to get hoppin.
