slight oil leak

[darrsi]

Like the white room in Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.  :lol

I had to work on a film camera in that room in the last version of the film 11 years ago, but I only had to wear shoe covers to stop the floor getting dirty.

Just going out to do a bit of maintenance on the bike :lol

The FZS does not need the sprocket cover gasket the only reason it was ever fitted was to stop the corrosion issue between two mating ali surfaces.

The oil leak will either be from the o ring that seals the push rod ...easy fix or the main output shaft seal behind the front sprocket... Not such an easy or cheap fix.

So oil change done, correct amount of oil put in, other than a bit of clutch slip the oil leak is still there...


its still not dripping badly but it is leaving oil on the floor..
It appears to be coming from one of the bolt holes for the sprocket cover or one of the dowel pins.


there is a noticeable coating of oil on the sump where its dripped down...


Why would it be leaking from the down pin or bolt hole?

[Punkstig]

Only because the fluid has found that to be the easiest route using gravity!

how has it found its way through a bolt hole though lol
