Oil drip from breaker cover?
I've got a slight drip from the breaker cover. I've just put a new gasket in and I'm still getting a drip from there.
Any suggestions?Tags: None

There is no oil that should be coming from the ignition cover. If there is its the crank main seal starting to leak. Oil can come out of the stator cover as it is oil bathed for cooling.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

Make sure you haven't slightly overfilled the engine with oil . My '79 1000 does that .

Probably a bad crank oil seal. I just did this, it ended up being pretty easy and fixed the leak. Here's the thread: http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...ver&highlight=
