Oil leak 2001 TXT 295cc

rjwenter · 12-20-2012, 09:33 PM

So I was out being a knucklehead treating my cart like an ATV. Anyway, I went over a huge bump (almost a ramp) and even caught air I think. Well, now the cart is leaking oil. It started with a couple of drops but is leaking pretty good now. Planning to check the cart this weekend - any good places to check first? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

under?

rjwenter · 12-20-2012, 09:46 PM

lol. Are there like any oil lines or anything underneath. Should I just look at the pan? Just not sure where to start once I'm "under".

everything is self contained in the engine I would check the front cover for the where the oil filter cover mounts and the oil pan this is not a fun scenario on a 295 personally i would be pulling the motor to check everything. it can get crazy expensive if you miss something , pull it ,clean it and check it out.

Engine has a full skid plate,you could pull 4 bolts,drop the plate and have a look. The rear end is unprotected, you may want to look at the bottom of that. Maybe bottomed on something and cracked the case, also check where the axle tubes bolt to the case. Hope it's an easy fix.

check the rear axle too. You could have stressed it where the axle tubes bolt to the tranny.

Ever find your problem rj?

Unfortunately no. I pulled the skid plate and cleaned everything off, but it's leaking from some higher point. I won't be able to find it without pulling the motor so I'll have to bring it in to a shop. This motor was in need of an overhaul anyway - I may just have a new one put in.

Leaking from oil pup cover, needs a new o-ring.
