Its driving me mad
Thanks for all the help for my last problems. The fault was down to a weak lead + plug. Now this!!!!! Got the bike running, left it for about 10mins. Came back to find what looks like oil dripping out of the bottom of the exhaust near the collector box. Its a harris pipe. Is it now the head gasket???????:-?:-?:-?

Might be no big deal. Clean the engine clean, clean, bottom and top, maybe simple green and a toilet brush. Run it for a bit and see if you can tell where it's coming from. At idle if possible (don't overheat it) so it doesn't get moved by wind. -
Have looked through the forums it is possible it could be fuel that has entered the chamber were it was not firing properly. Is it safe to run bike to clear the exhaust?????:-?Comment

carbon/water (condensation) mixture? what does it smell or feel like?Comment

Check the oil.
Is it too low?
Is it too high? Too high could be overfill or gas in oil, both of which will make it leak.
If the oil level is correct, ok to start it.Comment
