#@!#$# oil leaks!
Written by gibinmich on 5/11/2011 at 01:01 am

I would bet money that most if not all stone stock PCs have a oil leak of some
kind, with the exception of Lelands. (:

find. I had a friend help me just tear down the engine and pretty much replace
all the gaskets and seals. It was about 3 weeks total, but we weren't exactly
working on it everyday.

the last month or two. It was holding steady at a drop or two after every ride
but now it seems to be picking up the pace. Last year I replaced just about
every oil seal on the bike before I found last year's oil leak (it was the
shifter rod seal). Hopefully this weekend I'll have time to take the tupperwear
off and start looking for the source of the leak.
