    yamaha tri-zinger oil leak ?

    got it running great = but it leaks oil out of the tube that comes out of the right side of the engine in the back that runs up to the air box and is hooked into the side like an " s " and then points down to the ground ? looks like the new engine / transmission oil i just put in ? i was thinking that was a vent but ?

    did you fill it according to the manual, make sure that its not overfilled because that could be the reason why its coming out

    i just went out to the shed to look at mine to understand better and assume your talking about the vent coming of the lower right side of the motor (when your sitting on it) the only thing i can come up with maybe that would cause it to push transmission oil out is that the crankshaft seal is letting in compression from the crankcase forcing out the oil. on a side note what color is the smoke coming out the exhaust is white or blue? try doing a leak down test to see if the crankshaft seals are any good in it. just my two cents about it

    thats good that its blue, if it was white that would mean thats burning transmission oil, here's a good link to how to build one or and operate it http://www.3wheelerworld.com/showthr...nd-suggestions you can also pick one up if you dont feel like making one but you will have to make your own plugs and block plates for the exhaust and intake on the trizinger. here's another link to build one http://www.3wheelerworld.com/showthr...r-for-about-20
