Yet another (big) oil leak - what to do?
Hi guys. I was riding today and during a stop I notices the engine block was dirty and oily. So I wiped it off and kept riding and saw oil bleeding out through that gasket. I happens mostly at high speeds, when the engine is in high rpm. It's a pretty big leak as it messed up my pants and had oil on the bike all the way to the end of the exhaust.
I tried to tighten that bolt, but it didn't make much of a difference. Rode it slow all the way home and kept an eye on the oil level. So my question is: how bad is this? Do I just need to replace the gasket? Or it's indicative of a bigger problem? Could this have been caused by the fact that my last (stupid) mechanic put a little bit more oil in the bike, over the full limit? Please give me some advice if you can. Thank you.
