Alright,I walked over to my Foreman after I got back from school and realized some oil on the floor of my shop,so I put it on car ramps and removed the skid plate,and seen some oil leaking from my front drive shaft,right where it exits the engine.

Is this a cheap fix,or will it cost alot?

question: do you have to pull the axles to move the diff up a little or is there enough give to slide it up a bit to get the prop shaft out?

Yep I've done mine 2 times takes about 30 to 45 min. No you dont have to pull the axels and take care not to scar the shaft.
