Hopefully you can view the short videos that I posted. He has offered to split the case and repair.

seems like a weak point in the design of the crankcase, with only 3 bolts holding that part of the crankcase together, unless im missing one.

It sure looks that way, thanks LW. Should be good to go other than that and a new oiler gear.

When the guy reassembles -- have him use some type of sealer (yamabond or anerobic gasket sealer). I'd go with an OEM gasket seal kit since it has to come all the way apart.

Thats the plan!
