Dang oil leak!!
05/21/09 at 05:53:13

I have oil leaks still and its driving me nuts. I pulled the valve cover off, replaced the plug cap (sealed it w/ red RTV) replaced the O-Ring, put a bead of silicone on the cover and torqued it down. The dang cover is still leaking. I am thinking maybe 1/4 turn all the bolts may fix it? It burns my britches Suzuki didnt make a gasket to go there!!!

I also have a little drible on the right side bottom, anyone have there clutch cover leak oil? Maybe a 1/4 turn on those bolts too??

Any ideas?

Reply #1 - 05/21/09 at 14:43:58 When you had the cover off, did you check for knicks or bumps on the mating surfaces??? A lot of times, people will pry the cover off with a screw driver and not watch where they pry. Shops included.... Any imperfection in the mating surfaces has the possibility to cause a leak.

I take you used high temp sealer too.. No visible cracks???? Are the o-rings on the cover bolts where there are ol passages? Sorry... I know they may sound like dumb questions but sometimes people oop's.... A jog of the memeory is always helpful....
