    V Drive Oil Leak

    I Definetly am leaking oil but not sure from where. I think it is on the bottom but not sure without taking it out. I have just over 210 hours on the boat. Should this be covered under warranty? Anybody been in this situation who might be able to give me some advice.

    Thanks

      RE: V Drive Oil Leak

      Reach under the V-drive, with a wrench, and try to tighten all the bolts you can find.
      If you can get the bilge dry, you can put a paper towel under the V-drive and try to pinpoint the leaks.

          Lost of topics about this subject.
          My 03-210 leaked during last winter, one drip a day.
          During summer season also one drip a day i think. Now end of season a had to fill oil.
          Its the bottom paper-packing, concluison of several topics.
          Tighten or better replace with silicon.

              Walter RV26-D, 2005, also leaking

              My Walter RV26-D 2005 V-Drive also leaking. Leaks while not running, however, only leaks down to very bottom of the dip stick (when moored for period of time). Never had the oil loss trigger a low oil light on dash. I've placed colored construction paper under the drive and appears to be coming from engine side of drive in approx center. Hoping not the prop output shaft seal and rather from one of the magnetic plugs. Doubt it leaks at transmission join as this seems too high and there appear to be both an inner and outer seal between v-drive and transmission. A little tough to see under there. I've presented this issue to auth CC dealer/service center for 2 seasons but dispite a measured loss requiring refilling, and oil in bilge, CC auth dealer stated they could not identify a leak. I just keep attentive to oil level, filling and watching the pressure light on the dash to make sure I never reach a low oil condition. However, I really want to get this fixed and since I've recently changed CC auth dealer, I am hoping to get a better response from the new CC auth dealer. But before I take it in to my new CC auth Dealer/Service Center, I am trying to get as fully informed as possible about all possible leak sources. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Regards
