    Spewing oil, bad......

    Ok here is the situation, I'm synching my 81 GS 1000G, got it running decent, about to take the gauges off and then.....

    From the cover of the starter motor oil begins to flow (rapidly) out and down the side of the engine! I turn it off, what seal did I blow?

    Thanks,
    Karl

    The starter shaft seal.

      Sounds like it to me as well.

        Did you have a fan on the motor while you were syching?? This is an important step to keep the engine from overheating.
        Hopefully you didn't rupture the lower motor gasket.
