#1027447 Nocolorbrother (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 321 oil leak 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   Rode for about two hours put the bike in the garage. Two days later I noticed several drops of oil from the lower front of the engine. Oil level was right at the top of the grid on the dip stick. It got really cold the two days after my ride. Cleaned it off and rode again today for a hour and no leak. any ideas? Could the temps being in the single digits cause something like this?   Logged     Last Edit: 2018/01/10 06:13 By Nocolorbrother.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1027448 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 18167 Re:oil leak 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   The only engine oil leak I have ever seen on these bikes (besides a leaky drain plug) is from the O-ring on the steel oil lines on the lower right side of the engine. If that is what you find I can send you a couple of the O-rings. When I bought them I had to buy a pack of 10 so I have extra.   Logged     dave   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1027451 Nocolorbrother (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 321 Re:oil leak 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   Thanks will check there today.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 6961 Re:oil leak 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   Did it leak from the left or right of the lower front of the engine? Get down and see where the drip is. And remember, don’t use the duo stick. You can easily over fill it. Put 4 quarts in at the oil change and forget it. Any more than 4 and it will often push it out.   Logged     The west is the best - Jim Morrison Photo by GreenMachine   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1027464 RonK (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1031 Re:oil leak 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   -- Mine have done that twice in the last 150,000 miles. Both times it was the oil filter had wiggled slightly loose. --   Logged     [img size=150][/img][img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1027468 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 7727 Re:oil leak 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   I was going to say the same... my only oil leak was from an oil filter. Great first place to start.   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1027475 BubbaKahuna (User) No reasonable excuse for what I am about to do. Platinum Boarder Posts: 4607 Re:oil leak 1 Month, 1 Week ago   When I bought my 2000 it had what looked like an oil leak on the left side of the front cylinder head cover. I popped the tank off to figure out what I was looking at because I couldn't really see where the stains were coming from. Turns out it was gas seeping right through the 'likely original' rubber fuel line & turning brown from the rubber.   Logged     Last Edit: 2018/01/11 10:48 By BubbaKahuna.   This fits in here, right? I mean, I can make this fit in here ... right?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1027593 Nocolorbrother (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 321 Re:oil leak 1 Month, 1 Week ago   OK, looks like the oil line o-ring. I assume that I will need to drain the oil to replace the o-ring, right?   Logged     Last Edit: 2018/01/15 05:31 By Nocolorbrother.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1027594 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 18167 Re:oil leak 1 Month, 1 Week ago   I would just to be safe and not make a mess. I replaced them a couple years ago on the Eagles bike and really don't remember if I drained it all or just leaned it on the side stand and lost just a little bit.   Logged     Last Edit: 2018/01/15 05:58 By davej.   dave   The administrator has disabled public write access.
