I would think pressure in the rear drive is not good - can this cause
the housing to crack if it builds up too much? My Ambo has a vent on
the plug which I gather is there to relieve pressure build up. I
thought this issues was in Greg's book or possibly in Guzziology. Have
to get a definite answer though as the National is fast approaching and
we would not want to have a catastrophic failure on the ride out.

Questions. Are the tranny and rear end fill plugs interchangable with the oil drain plug? The reason I ask is I bought a plug advertised as an oil drain, but ended up using it on the rear end top fill. Seems to fit fine, but I'm having some gear oil leak out (after a ride) the top around the plug. When I unscrew it, I get a hissing from pressure release. Is this normal? The plug is one with the small magnet attached. Also getting some drops of oil from around the drain plug after a ride. Should I be using some type of special washer to get a better seal? Finally some NICE riding weather here in NJ! Cam in NJ '74 Eldo Police |
