Is it possible that it's need an alignment.... tire and air pressure are fine....also leaking oil from bottom of gear box.....could it possible be a bad gasket. Does anyone know of a good trustworthy mechanic to check out both issues.

did you bump a curb are tires both straight , there is a link under steering that is made to bend if wheel is bumped against something.cheap fix. don

Leak first, is it gas or electric? Electric most likely gearbox sealant on gearbox, no gaskit needed. Also input shaft seal.
Gas could be a few areas for leaks, engine, or gearbox, please post year of cart.
Pulling to the right, possible corected by alignment if no parts are worn or bent.
Check tires for feathered tread, and jack cart up each wheel and check for ware points.

Frank I have a 2003 Yamaha Gas cart. I have wiped the box down and then have occasionally seen fresh oil on the bottom where the two pieces are joined and I assume there is a gasket between them. Could be wrong though. I checked the fill plug and found no wet spots there.
As far as the pulling to the right I lent my cart to a friend yesterday and today I noticed the pulling and never had the problem previously. I think he hit a curb or something.

The case is assembled with liquid gaskit material, gas carts get opened when gears are installed for higher speeds.
Sorry about your friend!
