Got a small oil leak

Kyguylal · 08-28-2014, 09:53 PM

I've noticed some oil on the left hand side of cooling fins. I wiped it down and there is a drop or two after each time I ride. Some accumulates on the small screw at the front of the engine too. I tightened it down and it's still leaking a drop a ride

I'll get some pictures up tomorrow night, but I'm wondering if it sounds like a big issue to you guys.

there is a flaw in the design of the valve cover, this make the leak almost normal
to fix it you need to remove the cover an reapply the RTV silicon, if you do not need to ad oil before the next oil change I live whit it
