After getting the water pump, pulse generator, timing belt, fuel pump and syncing the TB, I now have a oil leak behind the PG at the seal. Reading some old posts the seal is "very easily damaged" I do remember when I replaced the PG the PG housing pulled away from the shaft (MY FAULT!!) and I pushed it back in. What else would you do??

All was good last week when I got things lined out but after a few hundred miles I came home and had oil all on my pant leg and shoe and down the side of the bike. Dripping oil at 70mph!

But after cleaning all around the PG housing and engine cover I see it leaking at the bottom or side where the seal is.

The oil leaks when it's on the center stand but very little if any on the kickstand

QUESTION #1 IS...is there a seal that could be locally found without ordering one and taking all week from Honda. Honda partsfinder show the cost $5.99 so that's not a issue just if there is a known replacement that can be bought and save me days of waiting.

QUESTION #2 I'm going out on a limb and guess if I leave the bike on the center stand and replace the seal I'll have some oil draining issue but can I put it on the kickstand and get by without draining the oil

Thanks for all the help

John

From what you've described it's more likely the gasket between the PG case and head which you'll want to replace anyway as you'll be pulling the case to replace the seal.

For the seal I'd wait a week or more for the high quality Honda seal rather than the junk seals most jobbers sell.

Check delivery time at both the Motorcycle and car dealer.

Part number at the car dealer is J1160-22824 used in several transmission input shafts.

Edit: Check the seal either one tries to sell you as I've seen some dealers "No names" try to pass off locally purchased junk seals as OEM.

The part # at a Honda car dealer is 91216-PA0-003, the computer is not going to recognize J1160-22824.

I don't have access to a dealer computer so can only go by numbers found on the internet.

Thanks for posting a number that the dealer will recognize.

Just for curiosity I went and checked and it is the same part # for the bike and the car, that is really un Honda who will use a different # for the same part for 2 different cars.

Sort of like 22885-MB0-006 used on every Goldwing clutch master cylinder from 1984 on and perhaps others?
