April 22, 20233 yr Had a nagging oil leak since I got the bike a couple of months ago. In fact, quite a few slow (and not so slow) leaks so changed all seals in clutch case - gear, clutch arm etc. New cover gasket, too. Looked to also be leaking from a couple of the cover screws/bolts so added a few o-rings on these. Finally, found that one of the screws at the bottom of the case is all the way through the case and protruding just in front of the gear box drain plug underneath the engine. I'm guessing that the original cover screw was a shorter one and a previous owner has mistakenly inserted a longer one and pushed all the way through. Unless, of course, the original screw should have gone all the way through. Anyway, that looks like the source of the leak. As this won't be the first time this has happened, does anyone have a cure, please? Edit: Just found this image on Ebay - not my bike - which appears to show ends of two case screws poking through the case wall. SO, maybe, this is how it should be and I need to look elsewhere. Very confused now. Edited April 22, 20233 yr by oldgit Adding picture
