    oil leak under left side cover

    hey guys, i finally got her on the road, but i have a leak coming from under the chain cover.... any ideas what might be causing this???

    i need to pull the cover and check it out, which i will probably do right now, but i wanted to see if you guys had any insight.

    its a gusher too, when the engine is warm and its on the sidestand, it just runs out pretty good

    There are 3 possabilities. Seal behind the sprokket or the large "plug' that might be leaking. Or the starter motor seal is leaking and its running down a little hole it has to drain water out inside where the starter sits. Did you do a rebuild or what has started it to leak.

        There is also a seal behind the shifter shaft.
