Title: Phantom oil leak.......no, it's not that one
Post by B1-66er on 05/19/11 at 16:46:10

I have oil leaking from the bottom nut holding the left side controls on. It didn't start until after I took the exhaust off(don't know if they're related or not). Anyone know what the problem might be?

Thanks

I believe that's an engine mount bolt that runs all the way through, so you might just try tightening it down real good.

Yeah, I never tightened it down as the exhaust is still off. Hopefully that's all it is.

Yeah the case is split and sometimes oil collects in there.
and will run out when the bolt is out.
