dripping oil

[kerrfunk]

I get a few drops of black oil under the bike (side stand) when I park it.

Here's a picture of where the engine connects to the drive shaft.

So. what now?

Clean it well, watch it carefully to see where it starts getting wet again, change the appropriate gasket/seal. :-\\\

Funny guy that Steve.

Sawdust in the crankcase? Draining all the oil out, thus nothing to leak?

My leaking gearshift shaft seal sometimes blows back on that boot besides dripping on the exhaust pipe.

Hi Kerry,

Worst case scenario, there is an oil seal there on the back of the crankcase where the secondary drive gear meets the U-joint on the drive shaft. The oil seal is #15 in the parts fiche. You'll have to clean it up and have a look under that boot.

Part# 09283-35018. I've read here that it's not too terribly difficult to replace.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

it isn't difficult. Same happened to me last year. Oil dripping from inside the boot. The seal was not available to me in Mex, so I used one purchased at a waterpump/hydralicpump supplier
