Both times mine was covered under warranty. First time regular and second time extended warranty :)

 
O.k. Went for a ride today since it hit 42. Came back and this is what I found.

Zoomed out for perspective.

That bolt right there had a nice drop of oil hanging from it, I had already dabbed it with a towel just to see if it was oil, and it was, and it was fresh.

So my first question is, could those bolts just be loose? Maybe from the wreck?

If it isn't just a loose bolt, then it must be leaking from somewhere in the middle gear. Likely the oil seal?
