Bull,

It is difficult to estimate since we don't know exactly what is wrong and what needs to be replaced. It sounds like the oil seal on the output shaft failed. I believe the engine needs to come out of the sled to remove the cover this seal is mounted in. As for the leaking antifreeze, it could be coming from a leak in a hose or a loose clamp.

This dosnt sound good. To lose oil and coolant, I would say that you have thrown a rod through the block OR some other major failure.


Was it sounding normay prior to this??? If it was knocking yo may be toast.

 

[bull]

No knocking it is still running fine, But I lost coolant and oil. I will know tomorrow if my season is over.

Too bad I had trip planned for this week....Wednesday unless of a miracle!!!


It will go to the doctor tomorrow will see

Thanks

As per the dealer it came from de clutch the gasket was done. Normal wear (10 000 KM) plus they changed a bearing.

Solder the rad, Oil change, slide change 2nd time this year.

$700 canadian + $500 @ the begining of the season.

Costly I find.
