Yuck! I think there are 3 varieties of RTV sealer on that pile of wire. Plus some cloth tape and shrink wrap that gets soft and expands. Terrible patch work over that hole and the solder joints for the short lead connector. It does not leak there though.Anyway, oil is thrown everywhere in the primary. The primary does not leak as much with exactly 8 ounces of oil or ATF in the primary, because it ends up about .125" below the chain. However, if oil is brought up to where it touches the bottom of the chain it'll find its way out of the primary if it can. Gotta own one to know one.I have not been able to stop my P11 primary from leaking in 50 years. And frankly don't believe anyone that actually rides their P11 and says they have, unless they have a belt drive in there. The high frequency vibration is not helpful for keeping the primary sealed tight around the perimeter. Only thing I have not tried is a bead of Permatex Right Stuff. Reason is it is too difficult to separate parts sealed with it, and experience tells me I'm not done opening up the primary.
