warrior spews oil!

[k.p.]

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

Can you post some pictures of what your talking about?

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?

as you can see right above the shifter...you can even see the little stream of oil flowin down

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

looks like the wire for the neutral light/safety switch
