Title: And I heard HDs were bad about leaking oil...
Post by bobo383 on 05/12/05 at 17:54:38

Savage has a leak at the front of the motor under the exhaust hole, where the little nut torques the head bolt from under the cylinder.  I even tried a copper washer.  It persists.  Engine runs fine, so I ain't going to replace the head gasket.

Yesterday, I noticed my YZF600 had a puddle under it, with drips coming from a rear corner oil pan bolt.  Oil pan gasket is gone by that bolt.  Tightening helped a little, but not much.

Rode the YZF to work today, and it looked like Exxon Valdez in our parking lot -- and I manage the environmental compliance department!

Did I catch hell from the Harley guys...

Reaped what I've been sowing.

I had the plug leak too, and fixed it already.  This one's different.
