I just knew I had a crankshaft seal leaking after inspection of a leak under the crank pulley. I removed the RT. rear inner fender and oil was all around the pulley area. Then I decided to wash the area down with carb. cleaner and run the engine. The oil was leaking out of a plate just under the pulley held by a series of 13mm nuts. All that I could get to were tight, then I noticed 2 nuts that were hidden behind the exhaust pipe and were impossible to access. After improvising with various tools I was able to tighten them. They were loose, obviously neglected in the past. I ran the engine again for a extended period of time and no leak. No leak also after 500 miles of driving. MAGOO |
