Was out last week, leaving lunch, heard louder than usual 'clunk' when shifting into first. Nothing of issue at that time.
Drove fine, but heard a strange noise here and there while underway. Earplugs, highway speeds, tried to focus on it, but nothing of note.
Arrived home, smell of hot gear oil was a warning, 1oz or less of oil on the ground the next day. Started, ran, no issues, no smoke.
Put the bike on the lift, found oil at seam of eng/trans, top and bottom vents of bell housing had oil. Smells like trans oil, level OK in trans, engine level OK too. Biggest concern was the metal part found on top of trans near the vent hole in a puddle of oil.
Photos of metal part, oil seepage, etc here:
https://onlineforumquestions.blogspot.comNot a lot of parts in there to be puked out of the vent hole (retainer spring?). Any suggestions? Seems like a motor/trans drop is in my future. Planning on rotating the entire flywheel first, but doubt I will find much.
Seal on trans- hard to replace? 2013 stelvio, link fixed
