    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

oil leak under crankcase

I've got an small oil leak under the crankcase that I'd like to fix. It seems to be coming from a nut. Can I just remove it, seal it with something and replace the nut? I tried to tighten it but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I checked the area around it for oil but there didn't seem to be any oil there, just dripping from the nut. I'm sort of surprised it is leaking. There doesn't seem to be a rubber oil ring or gasket under the nut so it does seem like this is a potential for a leak. Anybody run into this?

Hmm, I seem to be dyslexic. It is the left side, not the right.
 
No it is not. The nut was just a bit loose. I didn't notice that the head of the screw was next to the secondary drive fill hole (I thought it was inside someplace). I just tightened it up and now it seems to be fine.

Thanks for checking.
