Oil Leak

GZ250 · 04-14-2012, 07:36 PM

The oil is leaking from the joint where the exhaust pipe connects with the head. Only one side (R) is leaking and (L) is clean. When the oil gets hot it leaks and comes out and burn and when I give the throttle I can see smoke coming out from this area in the (R) exhaust.

1- Is there a seal in there which needs to be replaced and is it doable with limited tools?
2- Is the fix (repair) is only from the outside or do I have to do inside the head to replace the seal or whatever needs to be fixed?
3- Should I fix both or only which is leaking?

I can do such stuff but never done this before. If it is straight forward I will try otherwise the mechanic will be a happy man.

Thanks as always for the help.
