Hello all,
Took the Hornet out today for some prop testing. After initial warm up of engine. I checked the eng compartment for anything obviously wrong before a hard run. To my horror, I found that the transmission was hemoraging fluid from between the motor and trans. My first thought was the front oil seal. However, I did replace this seal upon the rebuild of this boat. Just a few months ago.
Does anyone have any ideas as to where the oil may be leaking?? Rebuilt motor and old trans have 35 hrs on them since the rebuild. I did not add any oil in the past few times on the water. No water in trans fluid. Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanx,
Flying Tomato
