Oil Strainer Cover leaking

[putz21]

Bringing mine to the dealer next week, investigated again yesterday and there' antifreeze in a pocket on the engine directly below the oil line that i thought was leaking the one you have circled and it doesn't look like that line is the leaking maybe the plunger going to the turbo its so hard to tell at 1st i thought that liquid was oil but when i swabbed it was antifreeze so now its leaking oil and antifreeze looks like oil was spraying all over the frame and muffler front lower right can't tell where its comming from

Good find. It's so hard to see in there and actually tell where it's coming from. Probably best to take it into the dealer. I may take a look based on Yamahamarc's post and see if I can get in there easily by removing the charge tube. If not, I'll take it into the dealer.

I just received a call from my dealer. He found the leak coming from the manifold where the two pieces must come together. Said oil was seeping out from there. He then mentioned oil must be getting there from the airbox.

View attachment 155596 I think it's definitely coming from the end of the hose. Problem is, it looks like a real bugger to get to. May have to remove the turbo to get to which looks like a ton of work. Maybe I should just take it in for a warranty repair and have them take care of it.

Yes I would. It’s dangerous. Fire hazard.

So, oil is coming from your airbox, but how did it get in the airbox? From the ROV that is plumbed to the intake?

Yes, that's because I was in the process of replacing those with the greasable control arm bushings from Mainway Solutions.
