Check all the cover bolts to make sure they are tight, n carefully inspect the bottomed of the engine for cracks n holes. If all the seems good u might have just blown the cover gasket. Do a leak test before u run it again

i dont have a leak down tester and how hard is it to replace the gasket

 

[Blaaster]

Where did you put the oil and how much?

Is there a breather hose on the tranny?

I agree with Arnold.

Check that the cove bolts are tight.

I actually had to retighten mine yesterday, had some seepage, nothing like you mentioned.

But could be really loose or need a new gasket.

The gasket for the right side, its not hard, but you do have to take off the rear brake lever, to get to the case to replace the gasket.

Its in the way of taking the cover off. now Im not sure about 2003 and newer models, with the hydro rear brake.

i just posted a picture i took the plastic cover off and theres no gasket there but it never leaked before until just now

The picture you posted is off the plastic cover for the oil injection pump.

There is no gasket there,

the other cover is the one that has a gasket, the bigger one.
