take the cover off and clean up and replace rubber gasket they don't last for ever, torque all the bolts even when putting back on. remember the case is made of aluminium so 16 INCH pounds should do the trick

Tell me when my light bulb is going to burn out on my front porch. Does this explain it well enough? Everything fails sooner or later.....

I had a 97 rmk 700 I bought for my wife. Was doing the same thing. Tried 3 times to get it to seal by cleaning things up really good and torquing properly. Ended up changing out the gasket and problem solved. They are cheap.

Im just hoping its not a driveshaft seal. Chaincase is so awkward to remove hunched over, with reverse gears and everything.

I also have the 97 indy touring 500 and the exact same thing happened,all the oil on my new shop floor, tightened the loose bolts and no leaks so far.
