Hello All,
I may have mentioned once or twice , I've been steadily working through my oil leaks. But I was still finding a small puddle under the bike. I think I've finally tracked it down. I have found a small fracture in the oil pipe junction block that's screwed into the engine case. It's just above the point the two pipes come out of the casting. It looks to be the oil tank supply side. It's not clearly visible, but I've ruled out leaks above and below this point. I replaced the gasket today and then realised it wasn't leaking from behind, but from this point in the casting.
Unfortunately, it is not in stock at AN and a Google search is revealing nothing. I have emailed AN to see if it is likely to be available soon. Does anyone know of an alternative source? Is there a way to fix it, something like JB Weld or some clever suggestion?
I don't fancy it properly cracking open while I'm riding, so I think I will have to keep the bike off the road until I fix it.
Thanks, Martin
