Moderator DirtyDT Posted November 11, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 11, 2013 2 strokes are always oily at the exhaust. Are you losing any oil from the gearbox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator DirtyDT Posted November 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 12, 2013 Are you using anything on the pipe? Wd40 or the like? Check your exhaust gasket as it sound like oil burning off the pipe. If you are not using gearbox oil then it can't be leaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dt rich Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 I do wd40 it a little while ago so could be some left on it ad I have put a new exhaust gasket in it so that's fine it's got a really funny smell aswell that's what made me think crank seal on right hand side might be shot letting gearbox oil in and not to sure if loseing oil as I haven't had bike to long have it a oil change and only got 550ml out of it (750ml recommended) ill drain oil again and see if level has dropped at all cos I think I am right in thinking that if u put 750ml in 750 should come out as it does not get burnt is that right?

Moderator DirtyDT Posted November 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 12, 2013 The gearbox may use a tiny amount. So measure it in and then see what comes out. If you spray oil (wd40) on metal ( the header pipe) and it gets hot it will burn off and smoke and smell, unsurprisingly, like burning oil.

Moderator DirtyDT Posted November 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 12, 2013 Also check the water level. Has the water or oil got a white "mayonnaise" type substance in it? If not the oil, or coating the exhaust, it could be the water with a gasket or water pump seal going/gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
