The oil tank is full and the tranny has plenty of oil also.It is not the orginal oil pump feed rear chain oiler because it has been removed.I am guessing it may be the primary vent that is set up to drip oil on the drive chain?&nbsp\\; Anyone ever hear of this?&nbsp\\; Any chance extra oil would come out of the primary vent. I know the rear chain is getting oil.&nbsp\\; It is comeing from somewhere or there is a leak somewhere else.&nbsp\\;
