Oil leak Help!

That's a **** clean machine... Heh mine hasn't been that clean since it left the showroom floor. But to be fair, there's no sand around here... Just mud and rocks.

Is my case cracked inside? could this be comming from the inside of the filter area, and leaking down threw inside the case?

I had coolant leaking from that hole a while back. I pulled the water pump cover and impeller, you can see the passage with the impeller out. It looks like it has a check ball or some type of one way vavle in it. I blew the passage out with compressed air and have not leaked any coolant since. Not saying your not, but I don't see how you could be getting oil from that hole. It goes into the water pump. Your sure its not coolant?

Well ****....guess I shoulda looked at the date on the original post...he probably got it figured out by now
