Well add something else to my frustrations. We rode the wolfpengap in Arkansas this past weekend and I noticed where the driveshaft goes into the back of the front diff is puking oil out. I called the dealer thinking maybe they messed with it when they replaced the transmission last week but he stated they didn't. So he ordered a seal and supposed to be fixed by the end of the week. I know a seal is now big deal but that means that my p1000 will have been in the shop off and on for 3 weeks with less than 300 miles on it. Has anybody else had this problem? I hoping I got the first run and maybe things will get better because my Polaris and Canam wasn't this bad.

Hopefully that will be rare. You would think that a standard shaft seal is a "no brainer" and they couldn't acres that up.

After my engine oil debacle, I will be keeping an eye on the front differential for sure. Good luck and everyone keep us posted as to the finding.

I have 150 miles on my 700-4 and I noticed tonight my front differential seal is dripping oil onto the skid plate. With plans to take it out for a long labor day weekend I'm hoping one of the local dealers can fix it up right in time. I'm assuming that problem is under warranty.

550 miles on my 17 500 and the seal from the rear of the engine to the driveshaft is leaking.
