    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

You could try laying the bike over onto its right side.

ill pass i dont like laying this heavy thing over unless i have to...i should be able to do it just layin on the ground
 
thanks jeep...

i plan on cleanin that screen...anything else i should check/clean?
 
Clean the pan and screen but I am sure that gravity takes care of anything else
 
got it all done..no more leaks down there now...so far at least...the gasket was rock hard an litteraly just came right off the surface in peices...

BUT i found this in my oil pan...if i had to guess this is the first time the pan has been off in 31 years...im not to worried since well it runs fine with no odd noises...

also can the 2nd picture be a valve cover leak?
