Title: warrior spews oil!
Post by: k.p. on July 21, 2006, 04:32:20 PM
ok i bought my 96 warrior off this site from some guy name unvme24 or something like that...and he said it had an oil leak. so i took it home and rode it and the thing gushed! it was coming out of a seal and i fixed that. but then theres some little wire that goes straight into the engine block right near the shifter on the left side. and thers a little nut that i tightend and that did do jack squat and i have no clue what that little wire is so if any body had like a similar problem please help me cuz i dont feel like buying new oil every other time i ride

You need to give some more info.... What you have described so far can mean two things.... Your left case is cracked, or theris a gasket that needs to be replaced....

I think this is the little wire you are talking about?

The picture is terrible. You can't really see anything.

I think it may be a oil sending unit for the level of oil or a temperature unit
