I have oil leaking from the tell tale hole in the engine case below the water pump.
I changed the oil and filter yesterday (10W40) and I do not believe it was leaking before that. (did not see any evidence of leaking). Today, I noticed oil under the bike after riding for about 250 km. Checked the oil filter and drain plug but no leakage there. Then noticed a drip of oil near the tell tale hole. There was no evidence of oil streaking on the bottom of the case so I am wondering if it leaking only when the engine is at rest?
Does anyone have a likely source for the leak? I am thinking water pump seals or o rings?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Javelin
