Mine wasn't real bad, just beginning to show evidence of seepage. That's not the worst of it, when I first got the trike I noticed a major oil leak with the associated mess all over the rear differential and axles. It was a mess to be reckoned with but I wasn't familiar enough with the trike to really know where to begin. I called a local guy that does numerous "bikes to trikes" in his shop, sort of a retirement business for him and only 11 miles away. He found the drain plug on the bottom of the pumpkin was seeping once the gear oil was warmed up and under some pressure from riding. He took care of the problem with some sealant, refilled it, then took it for a good ride. When parked, he spread newspapers under it and when checking next morning all was well. Problem...the mess is still all over the undercarriage so when I get it back running I'll take it to a local car wash stall that has the pressure wands. Hopefully I can clean the bottom of the motor as well so as to start summer travels and travails with a clean ride.
