It’s driving me mad!

Post by Dbailey »

I’m chasing an oil leak and have been for a while... It’s clean oil so either gearbox or two stroke but it seems to be gearbox... drips off the inner exhaust when on the side stand. Main drive seal, clutch pushrod and the kickstart end plug are all dry. Considering it’s dripping off the inside of the inner exhaust I’m not convinced it’s coming from behind the left cover anyway. Any thoughts? It’s bugging me so going to keep looking.

Thanks

Paul.. good shout... I was just reading the Haynes manual and thought its another possibility. A bit nervous about playing with it because it currently all works...
