banshee trans fluid leak

[smey79]

I have a 98 yamaha banshee, the trans fluid is coming out of the trans vent tube on the right side by the brake, it seems to only do it when I go up hills, I obviously have pressure building up from somewhere, I am unsure where, if it is the engine pressurizing it, if there is a seal leaking, which one, I don't know how to go about the repair,
Thanks scott

Sounds like you don't have your vent tubes connected correctly. ALso make sure you do not have any of them pinched.

The fluid is coming out of the vent hose that goes up by the gas tank and comes out by the case abouve the brake.

thanks for the diagram, the hose hase never been removed, Why would apinched vent cause it to leak, like its ceating a vacuum or something, it comes out pretty fast, like its siphoning out, or there is pressure pushing it out

is it possible you just overfilled the tranny last time you changed the oil? i did that to my blaster, and it spewed oil until i drained it down to where it needed to be

My budd pinched one between the frame and it must have caused pressure in the case and oil started coming out another vent tube:confused: Its hard to explain but he unpinched the line and it stopped leaking.
