Oil leak from engine
10/21/17 at 09:41:18

I'm getting a few drips under the bike in the garage. Trying to track down the source I pulled the drive pulley and it looks like the culprit might be the seal on the drive shaft. There's a pretty good spray of oil all over the area surrounding the pulley and there was a fairly fresh drip in the red circle that i smeared away with my finger tip (second pic below).

I see the seal is only $10 and looks pretty easy to get at. Any cautions or other advice?

Nothing got smacked as far as I can tell, the red circled area was a drip that I smeared away with my finger.
