    I have cummins isx15 2011. I hate spending money on this oil leaks and especially when every oil leaks cost at least 2-3k. I have my front seal or some gasket leaking for almost 2 years just a lil bit. I’m not spending money unless it starts to leak very bad and effect engine performance. Once in a month i add maybe half gallon oil and thats it i know is not right but my pocket is not that deep so i can spend money on this leaks repairs. This is just how i do i know its not mexhanicly right but if u have $$$ fix it :)) have a blessed day truckers

    Going through the same thing now luckily my warranty supposedly covers it . Front structure refill or rebuild whatever the hell they said between a 7-8 grand job from international dealer

    Gear housing. Ask them to show you the gasket.

    You'll be like "Really?"

    Hundreds of millions in engineering and that design is what won?

    The warranty didn’t cover it . I will never in my life pay for a warranty from ntp again . They are scammers and not worth the money . Just save it towards your repairs

    Absolutely correct. One of the things not covered in that bs plan is gaskets.

    I bought it once too, never make that mistake again.
