Oil Leak
Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2007 3:06 am
I've recently noticed that I have an oil leak.
I saw some oil track just above the oil filter cover, and thought that was it.
Over the weekend I removed the cover, checked the seals, all ok.
Put it back on and ran the bike for 5 minutes to make sure the leak had stopped. There was no further leak from that point.
But after riding to work this morning I see the leak is still there, but coming from much higher up.
I changed the oil on the weekend as well, so now the leak will be much harder to spot. Should have left the old stuff in
It looks like it may be coming from a hole above the clutch cover. What is this hole?
Then again, it may be coming from higher up again?
I considering washing the bike, and using degreaser on the engine. I think this would make it easier to spot. Is this a correct assumption?
CHeers.
