I rebuilt my 2002 700 viper from the crank up and now I have a bad oil leak I cannot find. I have the carbs and muffler off but can't find the leak. The hoses on the bottom of the crank wouldn't leak oil when just sitting? Any suggestions?
likely have a crack in the oil supply line from injection bottle, if it was hard to get off they sometimes crack and it will drip. can you spray the pump and belly area down with brake clean and see where its leaking from?
is it fresh clean oil??? or burnt and black???

It is fresh clean oil. I just took the hose off from the pump to inspect for cracks and it looks good but the clamp seemed loose. I am going to try a new clamp and put some paper towel under it and watch. Thanks.
