    Did you make sure you did everything up tight enough?

    Did you replace any gaskets necessary, if any?

    hmmm, usual is the rear gearbol seal where the tailshaft sits, also check your allen key holes where you fill up the gearbox, pretty sure there are only 2 seals on the gearbox and next up is the rear main, degrease the box and check in a few hours or a day too see where its leaking from.
