Oil Leak?

[wally8888]

05 (I think) Club Car, Ser. # AG0611-607615.
Oil is leaking from case, passengers side just above or near dip stick tube bottom (not at base of dip stick). Tried to tighten bolts= no change.
Can gasket be replaced w/o removing engine?
Helpful hints appreciated!

sorry to say no. have to pull the engine(about 15 min), pop off clutch ( with clutch tool), then take off side cover. those are messed up from th factory. 1/16 th of an inch of gasket is sealin it, sooner or later it will leak. put skim coat of permatex down to hold new gasket in place when goin back together.

Excellent advice, I skim coated both sides. No leaks. knock knock knock

DO NOT put it back together without a gasket!! the gasket is also a shim & your motor will be to tight.

Thanks. Approximately how much should I pay a qualified mechanic to make this repair?

i would say around 150.00 - 175.00 is fair

Thanks to all for answers!
Two local dealers want $300-$350 to replace.
If I could find good guidelines or a copy of shop manual, I would replace it?

Finally found someone to fix problem for a fair price.
2006 Club car w/ FE290 engine.
I need to order gaskets/seals! Can anyone provide a list of gaskets, seals and other supplies I will need? I found a PDF of Part #'s but can't identify the proper parts!
Thanks, Wally

Seems the problem may be a blown head gasket! Should be fixed this weekend.
Thanks for help!
