Initial problem from new! finally tracked to cross threaded AND hairline fracture at location of oil pressure switch; cured THAT problem with a heli-coil transplant. Still! continued to leak but with the persistent help of a good mechanic finally tracked it coming from behind the water pump cover/seal but even more bewildering yet from the actual screw holes that hold the seal in place Has anyone else experienced this or tell me why engine oil should be leaking from these holes Stoney1

if your spyder is an RT, that is a known issue that just was released from can am in a service bulletin. the fix is to pull out the bolt, clean it and the hole off and put some sealant on the threads. the cause is too porous of a material.

I did reply to you much earlier, but must have been in the wrong area. I do
have an RS but the problem was the same; thanks for the heads up and I am no longer banging mine against a brick wall stoney1
