Primary Leak?

 

The only leak I have had in that area was from the transmission seal, not the primary (behind the front pulley).

 

I thot it was the Starter, as you can see the seal is intact. The oil was splashed underneath the starter and pooled in the area below it. Im thinking the inner primary seal.

 

The most common leak in that general area is from a transmission seal; which is behind your inner primary. As grbrown has already stated.

 

The leak is down where the front pulley attaches which is still the transmission. A lot of times the bearing in there will fail which causes the seal to bust.

 

Did oil leak from the starter it self? The reason I ask is because on my Dyna I had oil leaking out of the starter itself. It ended up being a torn o ring inside the starter not the one on the end but the o ring behind the bearing on the jackshaft

 

No oil leak from starter. That was the 1st thing I checked. It coming from the trans seal. Now I ask. Is it a big job for a guy who is pretty handy? Or should I take it in?

 

Depends on how handy you are. If its the mainshaft seal the whole tranny cassette has to come out along with removing the whole primary.

 

Either the mainshaft seal or the quad seal either way I can keep the tranny in the case. You just need the proper tools to pull the inner bearing race and the the socket to take the pulley nut off

 

All can be made if your handy too.
