well over winter i pulled drive, did allignment, changed impeller, and remounted everything, all for my first time wit hthe help of you guys.

Now after i changed my drive oil, i have gone out about 4 times. and it seems like my drive oil reservior has dropped a little maybe 1/4 inch, so i filled it back up, then it dropped a little more...

no leaks anywhere...

iv read that during the first 15 hours or so the system will "burp" and catcha little fluid ....

does this sound right.

Re: Disappearing drive oil

It usually burps the air out after the first good heat cycle. Just keep an eye on it. Many of the leaks only leak when the drive is hot and under pressure.
