wash your bike clean of all those oil and all will be revealed.

engine cleaner, kerosene, diesel etc works wonders.

hi bro, do a oil change, frm there u know, maybe yur gasket thin over time as engine overheating may have cos it, or u change to a mineral base engine oil (thicker), maybe semi syn or fully syn may not be suitable for u.

1. locate source of leak by cleaning bike and then observing.

2. Change appropriate gasket/seal (as long as it’s not the gasket in the middle of crank case…).

3. Problem solved.

I got the same problem before. I used a new and improved method. Clean the leaking place (use degreaser). Apply powder (i use baby johnson cause nice smell). Lie down, or go home sleep and check the next day.

hi braders n sistas, there is another choice using STP product, it is called

STP® Engine Stop Leak is formulated to help:

Stop minor oil leaks
Rejuvenate seals and gaskets
Fortify oil with viscosity enhancer

Over time, normal engine operation can lead to oil leaks. These occur because heat can cause oil seals and gaskets to shrink, dry out and crack
