88 bayou 220 oil leak

[Dwayne]

I have a 1988 bayou 220 with a oil leak where the drive shaft connects to the engine at the wires comming out of the case. Can i fix this without removing the engine? Whats this gear housings called ? I'll need a gasket and looks like shifter seal at least.  Any help would be appreciated.

If you look up the parts diagram online it will probably help, and if you download a service manual and have a look they generally tell you early into it what can be done on the motor and gearbox without removing the motor.. and what needs the motor removal.

If you copied the parts diagram and marked it where you reckon the leak is it might help too..

The reason I joined this group was to gain access to the service manual you mention. If i had that, i wouldnt be asking these questions. I'm an experienced mechanic, just a new member. Thanks

I think i can remove drive shaft and remove engine mounting bolts. Tilt engine on the side a little and remove cover. Found a y tube video were someone removed foot peg to get some room.

No worries Dwayne..  Just thought it might be a help..

Looks like ill have to remove engine from the frame. I cant seem to slide the cover off the shift lever shaft without hitting the frame.
