Time for another annual service, and the same company drive the cart out of the garage and immediately came back to tell us that he "would need to take it into the shop as he could tell by the noise that the oil seals on the rear end had gone and oil had leaked into the motor."

On our Yamaha 2012 and 2014 gas the engine is not connected to the rear differential except by a drive belt. There would be no way for oil to travel between the two units. Other brands may be different.
