Hay Yall,

I found an oil leak. :'(  It looks like it’s not too bad in fact I’ve had the bike for 6 months now and just noticed it about 3 weeks ago (I kept the bike pretty clean when it was warmer and now that the temps have dropped it’s too cold to wash it).  The oil is spewing on the throttle shaft, spring, and choke knob.  I pulled the 2 top covers and it looks like it’s coming from inside the spark plug well.  Is it most likely the head plug mentioned in the "Savage "Plug/Cap" Leak" post?  It’s small enough that I haven’t noticed a significant drop in oil level since the last oil change 800 miles ago.  If I ignore it will it get worse? ???  My thoughts are if it’s that small and doesn’t get worst its more trouble to fix it than to clean up after it.  Wa da ya think?

Hay Reelthing thanks for the input.  You’re probably right about it getting worse over time, I haven’t seen an oil leak yet that didn’t get worse with time.  The speedo cable wasn’t full of oil but I did notice their was some oil spoog around it and the oil fill cap so I added an O ring to the speedo cable and replaced the O ring on the oil fill cap.  I’ll keep an eye on it for now and like you say when I can’t stand it any longer I’ll tare into it further.  Keep it Reel. 8)
