oil leak....... anyone had this?

[DL84]

Hi guys,

well the bikes sprung an oil leak, looks like it's coming from the cam cover? anyone else had this problem?
it's not to bad just weeping slightly, still a pain in the arse tho........

I think you are supposed to change the gasket if you have valves checked

 

[DL84]

cool, bikes only on 12000 never had valves checked......

 

[mike g]

maybe wash it off and see how quickly it comes back?
then try nipping up the cover bolts.
From the bill I had for my last (18k) service I think there are 2 gaskets about ?40 if you need new ones

Hi DL84 oil leaks only get worse the gasket is saturated it will only leak more as time goes by, get it sorted sooner than later

lol right enough alex! hope she was treated kindly

I fairness to the bike it was totally standard and mint when I bought it, with 6000 miles on her, I suppose I do use her quite hard revved to the red line etc most rides out with the boys , well into 3 figures on our favorite closed private road...... but that's what there built for right?

 

[soofsayer]

It's not impossible for a gasket to fail, these things happen. I doubt it's anything you've done, just shit happens, and needs fixing.

She said she appreciated not having to 'reduce' her standards when we met

My mates 15 is leaking in exactly the same place.

 

[DL84]

that's interesting Marzy at least I am not the only one lol, I take it it will be a warranty job? does he have any idea what caused his leak?

 

[Marzy]

He bought it Used a month ago and dealer fixed it.
