    Oil?

    Hellos,
    purchased an 81 gs550l a couple weeks ago and I'm noticing an even oil leak (more like a very fine coating) coming from I think the entire top end. It's even hitting under the fuel tank. Any help on where I should be looking for the cause?

    New to the 2 wheel version of transport and searched these forums for hours,days.....

    Fork seals, valve cover, head.
    A few places to start.
    Clean, scrub everything real good.
    Short ride and take a closer look.

      Make sure the breather hose is connected to the large fitting on top of the valve cover and the intake manifold.

        Great I'll check it tomorrow before I go riding. I also noticed some oil spots on my left shoe I read another post on here with someone with a similar problem but can't remember where
