I have had a slow oil leak that drips from around the propeller shaft boot -wetting the top of the side stand, keeping the boot clamp tight (it loosens itself) seems to keep it to very little.
Today I have the final drive off, and notice a thimble or so of hypoid oil drip out when it came apart. The grease on the splines was barely there from being wet.
The hypiod gear level was a bit low.
My question# 1 is- do the 2 (92055) coupling o-rings solve the leak, or might the oil seal on the input shaft to the pig (92049 B) be the culprit? ... . No other leaks- besides top of propeller shaft.
I also note the input shaft coupler gear (42034)is tired with rolled off teeth, all on the same direction, while the coupling (42034A) looks ok.
I plan to order a 42034 coupler gear/ 42034A coupling , nut, spring, and various orings .
My question #2 is- I note there are a ton of shims available to order. Are the rounded off teeth/leak suggesting spacing issues that need addressing?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your input in advance.
