Denny, just a WAG...is it "blowing" lube or "slinging" the stuff? Seems when I put mine together there was a gasket between the top cover and the top plate. That gasket has a vent hole (1/16" mas y menos), but I was told it does not line up with the vent hole so air goes in & out but
oil doesn't get thrown out through the top cover hole. Do you have the gasket installed? If not, maybe it is getting "slung" out as the tranny is turning...? David Kee, where are you? LOL
