Oil leak, need help
05 Oct 2006 17:32
I have an oil leak In the front of my bike on the engine, and trust me guys, its not the tach fitting, I sealed that. It seems to just drain down all the fins from the bottom of the head down. I see some on the studs that hold the head also but that could of been blown there, I dont no. Need help

Take a GOOD flashlight , with the bike COLD ,so you dont stick your face or hands to it ,look for the cleanest spot you can find (like brand new , oil is a great solvent)
Most times it works.
PS For the baby powder trick ,
Ask a lady friend to pick you up a can of powder dry spray anti-perspirant. (It makes your bike smell good too)
