Title: Oil leak help Post by austin707 on 03/06/15 at 05:20:06 I am new to the savage and I have a question on a oil leak. When i first got the bike it never leaked oil. I changed the oil and since then it has developed a slow leak. Its not the drain bolt or the oil filter cover. Is there a known spot for these savages to develop a leak? Any help is appreciated. |

Title: Re: Oil leak help Post by Dave on 03/06/15 at 07:26:08 If the leak is from the bottom.....make sure the footpeg bolts are tight. The bolts go clear though the front of the engine, and if they get loose the middle seam of the engine can leak. Also if your sprocket nut is loose, oil can leak from that shaft....be sure to check that as the shaft can be damaged if the pulley is wobbling around loose. |

Title: Re: Oil leak help Post by Dave on 03/06/15 at 09:21:28 I like to put some bolts in those motor mounts holes, and tighten them up to stop the leak. I don't want the leaky oil fussing with the sealer in that seam....I prefer not to have to split the case to reapply sealer. |
