Leak after rear tire change

[curlytop1961]

I have a 2007 Royal Star Tour Deluxe. I had a rear flat and had to have the tire replaced last week. Drove it twice and now have oil/grease leaking all over my garage. It seems to be coming out between the wheel and the shaft drive. Anybody have any idea what it might be..didn't have a single leak of any kind until this guy changed my tire. Is this something I can possibly fix..shop here wants $100 just to take a look at it and then will charge from there! Thanks

Call the guy that changed your tire. Something is not right.

I don't see how a tire change can cause an oil leak. Maybe he put some grease on the splines inside the hub and final drive and it's flinging the extra out. How's the oil level in the final drive itself?

I called the guy..he says he hasn't had this problem before and there is nothing he can do about it. Yamaha dealer says maybe he pinched an o-ring putting the shaft back in or that there is a seal in there that could have gone bad. Will check the levels also..thanks
