Title: Oil Leak!
Post by Dalziel_A on 05/19/12 at 07:31:11

I was wondering if anyone has ever had a problem similar to this..
I bought my savage about a month ago and finally got it running and on the road after a few electrical issues were figured out. Today I had it out for only my 3rd time. I noticed when I stopped at a stop light near my house that the exhaust and cyllinder were both smoking quite a bit, and come to find out that it was just burning off oil that had leaked out.
I can't even tell where it's coming from though, because it's everywhere.. all over the battery and tool box cover, side covers, exhaust pipe, etc. Any guidance on this problem is greatly appreciated.

there are the usual suspects, but you need to narrow it down cause it can be just a loose bolt. clean it off go for a ride and keep an eye on it.

head plug leak will start in the opening besides the header.
there are various bolts with oil running behind them
