    excellent. I buy get another one for the heads and mount it up high so gravity will let the oil flow back into the heads instead of out into atmoshere.
    Once again, you rock!

    You really shouldn't have that much oil coming out it's a pressure release

    No that would pressure up the tank unless the idea of launching your dip stick into the next county is your plan

    I bought a tee connector and connected the 2 hose coming from the heads together to the line from the oil pump that is for the primary vent.
    I will watch to see if I still have oil in the primary.
    Once the motor is running there is quite a bit of oil coming from the head hoses. Hydraulic pressuse is very powerful so hopefully this cures the promlem. If not no big deal, I am planning on removing and rebuilding the tranny anyways so the whole primary will coming off, I will replace the seal then. Thanks for the info HRK. I thought the fluid was coming from the tranny but your pointed out that it's not possible b/c the sprocket and clutch basket is in front of the tranny seal.
    Could the fluid be coming thru tranny pushrod into the primary?

    not likely, not much room and the shaft it's in is filled with adjuster on one end, rod in center and throwout bearing on other end.

    If you are getting a lot of oil out of the head breathers than something isn't correct
    it should put out air with a light amount of oil mist...

    I will keep an eye on it and let you know if the leak still exists.
    Thanks.
