September 27, 201015 yr My 2002 250 txt pro has been leaking oil fr a while from the part of the cases concealed by the swing arm bolt. I've removed the engine and can see the small leak in the c/case join. Is it possible to seal this without splitting the cases ? Because of where it is nothing can sit proud of the surface or it will stop the swing arm bolt sliding through. Any one had similar problem ? Thanks
September 30, 201015 yr Ello mate. I had a similar issue on an old rm 250 i had I did over time split the case and replace the gasket . It stopped the leak , I overhauled the engine so put new case gasket on, But as a get me through i used arldite . Two compounds you mix togther like paste and it dries like metal. might just get a bit in to seal it up. i can send you some for free as i get kits from work for nowt. might be worth a try let me know regards dave
