Simon46 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Thought id cracked it by reversing heat hardened cracked hose to airbox as diagnostic procedure. Still it leaks under starter. Oil level in middle. Any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon46 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 I took the breather hose to the airbox and reversed the hose connection from the top of the gearbox to the airbox as hose had split due to the operating temperature of the engine. It still has a leak from the starter motor area which dribbles down the back of crankcase. Oil tank is not overfilled. Is that making more sense?

Simon46 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Casing. looks like under starter motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon46 Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 On closer inspection I think it may be the clutch rod oil seal as its next to the breather hose. Spring is very oily. Not so simple. Simon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
