P1000m5 2018 Honda Pioneer 1000-5 DCT Cover Leak

[alancr125]

Hey everyone, I’m having an issue with my 2018 Honda Pioneer 1000-5. The DCT cover is leaking very slightly. I put a new gasket on but it hasn’t stopped. Ever time I wipe my finger under the cover it has oil just barely seeping out. Anyone else had the issue? If so can you help with the fix?

Did you oil the o ring and clean the phooey out of the canister lip, before you installed the cover? Where's the spin on filters?

Really this day and time why not a spin on filter.

Thanks for the reply, I did oil the gasket and cleaned it off good. Only thing I can think is maybe the oil filter gasket is leaking and going down to the DCT cover. I have a new gasket for it as well. I’ll try and replace it tonight and see if that fixes it. I went as far as to convert the foot pound recommendations to inch pounds and torqued to spec.

I wouldn't use a torque wrench on them, some guy's are breaking bolts.

Caulk it

Check and make sure the sealing surface is flat. Could be bent and not making even contact

I put new gaskets on both and I can’t tell if it’s leaking now or not, still some on my finger if I wipe across the DCT cover. Good thing I bought the extended warranty.

Think it's time the jack up the radiator cap and slide a new unit in, HA! Just kidding! Let us know if the new o-rings worked.

I realize this is an old post but wondering how you resolved it. Having same issue on 2020 Pioneer 1000-5.
