Gear indicator switch oil leak
I guess that a smear of Yamabond would be a good idea behind the gear indicator switch indicator…it might even stop the persistent drip of oil..

Re: Neutral switch oil leak
You mean gear indicator switch? It does collect some oil behind it, and it has an O-ring.... silicone grease on the O-ring and it shouldn't be leakin'.

Duct tape can't fix stupid, but it can sure muffle the sound.

Re: Gear indicator switch oil leak
When you buy a new gear indicator switch it doesn’t come with an “o” ring…good thing I didnt toss the old switch out..
Transferred the “o” ring, smeared some hylomar on the flange, applied some silicone grease to the “o” ring and re-installed it..
