After a 3 hour race I noticed oil dripping from the bottom of the air box onto the swingarm. I thought he just flipped it or something. I didn't check the oil first but after I drained it I thought it was more than normal. I drained the trans oil and only got about 4 oz. Appears the oil is being sucked into the crankcase from the transmission. Is it getting by the crank seal or the balance shaft seal ? Are there other ways for the oil to enter the crankcase?

There is an oil seal on the right side end of the crank that separates the crankcase and the gearbox. When it fails oil can move from one side to the other.

It's certainly the place to start. ;-)

I will put a new crank seal in first thing in the morning. Got a race this weekend we'll see what happens. THANKS!
