Posted August 9, 200816 yr Another problem to test the 'grey cells' ........... The old faithful YB100 has been losing 2 stroke oil at a considerable rate when standing in the garage, the oil 'appears' to be coming from the rhs of the engine where the carb and oil pump are. There are no obvious leaks from any hoses or the 2 stroke oil tank - it just seems to 'weep' out via the carb. I am going to change the oil pump tomorrow to see if this makes a difference, but in the meantime anyone else got any ideas??
August 11, 200816 yr G`day, Is it at all possible you are loosing the mixed full out of the carb and the petrol is evaporating just leaving the oil? Cheers.

It is possible as the petcock is a bit rubbish - but there is no smell of petrol with the leak. Didn't get a chance to change the oil pump yesterday as was fully engaged in disembowling the Kwak! Maybe will get on to it in the next couple of days. Will keep you all posted - in the meantime keep the ideas coming!!
