Live in the Wentzville Mo. area anyone know a good mechanic around here. I have a leak in my finale drive and i just do not have time to investigate and fix.

What about the nearest Kawasaki dealer ?

The Kawasaki dealer is also the Harley dealer and I've heard nothing but bad thing about their service department

When the final drive was leaking on my 05 Nomad I took off the rear wheel and took the final drive to the local Kawasaki dealer who replaced the pinion seal.
That was 2009 and it cost $180 in parts and labour if I remember correctly.

you have another kawy dealer close to you. Try them. They always have given me a fair shake on things.

Well then they should have more than enough experience repairing leaks!

First things first, it ain't over full on oil is it , has anyone recently serviced the rear drive unit ? If not proceed on the advice given. Just thought it was worth throwing out there. Good luck!

I put three seals in mine. Finally gave up on factory and went to Fastenal and got an aftermarket made of a better material. Been good for a year.

Their number is (770) 305-9990.
