Help: Anyone seen a leak like this before??
Did a search and came up with nothing, so....
Was doing an oil change a couple of weeks ago (first since buying the bike off a friend, who had just changed it prior to me purchasing it) and I noticed oil on the underside of the left tipover cover. Removed the cover, and noted some oil had pooled in the recess gap for the cover, and also on the actual bar on that side. Was heading out of town, and finally got back today to investigate.
- a little bit of residue at the front of the valve cover gasket, but definitely not "draining" down the head.
- looks like some collecting on the cam chain tensioner setup.
- decided to start the bike and see if I could detect anything: crap...I see some very small bubbles around the left rear gasket, just below the left knock sensor, when the bike is running.
Ideas? Anyone experience similar?
