Reminded me of the leak that a mates immaculate 79 Triumph Bonneville sprung a few years ago. He had a 1000k ride ahead of him to get home and the bike was pissing oil out from under the fuel tank (the T140 Bonnys carried their engine oil in the frame). He thought that it must have a crack in the frame as all of the oil pipes etc looked okay, so he nursed the bike all the way home and then proceeded to clean the hell of a mess off it. We ran it with the fuel tank removed and found oil pumping out of the wiring harness :shock: Turned out that the sensor on the engine for the oil pressure light was leaking and the oil was pumping into the rubber boot covering the sensor and then up the wiring cover and out under the tank :!: Lot of panic turned into a real easy fix :D
