oil leak 85 gs 700e

[Guest]

just looking for some info. the 2 oil lines that come out of the heads and converge before going into the bottom end seem to be leaking where they meet there is a small puddle of oil directly in front of the fitting. the area above is clean. are there o rings on these fittings? is it possible there is a leak from another spot puddling up here? tomorrow i will remove the lines for closer inspection but they look ok if they do end up being bad the napa auto parts here makes lines and hoses if they can make them would they be ok to use? thanks for the help

They don't have an o-ring but they do have copper or aluminum sealing washers. If you haven't disturbed you lines before they started leaking I'd suspect they might be starting to leak someplace worse, from the fitting itself.

Oil can always be coming from somewhere else but if it was coming from then tensioner you'd see it other places, like on the carbs maybe and around the tensioner itself. As long as they have metric fittings and are rated for oil NAPA lines should be fine.
