Arctic cat?

my Arctic Cat 1990 Cheetah (440) has a leaking chain case. we are using the right oil and have been resealing it with silicon but it still leaks. we have exammined the case for cracks and cant find any. it is leaking from the bottom and we can't get in to check it out. all we know that it is leaking from the bottom. help would be greatly appreciated|||Silicone sucks for sealing two surfaces that contain oil. In automotive I use a product called "Right Stuff". I believe it is made by Permatex. Should be available at any auto supply. Clean the area you want to seal and use this instead of silicone. Believe me-you wont be disappointed.|||The area to be sealed needs to be clean and free of oil until silicone sets drain oil and let sit until seeping stops the seal and give plenty of time for silicone to set. you can also add UV dye to oil to track leak source|||if you have already tried to properly re seal it, it is possible that it got hot and the case warped.
