what is leaking?
having a general look under my car the other day and noticed some oil spread all over the shop. just wondering if u guys could give me some idea of what is leaking, and if i want to know about it.

i've wiped the oil off, but it seems to build up around that bolt in the middle of the pic.

Probably and most of the times its a the engine oil shield of the crankshaft. Mine has the same leaking but its stops after few rides and never leaks again for some time. The best time to fix that its when you have to change your clutch until then just check engine oil and gear oil. Also check out if the gearing its getting harder because your clutch will die with that kind of leaking oil on it.

well, took it to carline today, turns out that it's the rear main seal, but it's not leaking much....yet.
but also got them to look at my front hubs as it wasn't engaging, and they are clogged and rusty and generally shitted....along with my bearings.... so they are pulling all that stuff apart and cleaning it all up and re-greasing etc, hopefully the bearings just need cleaning and re-packing.
sov this week i'm either spending 300 or 600 on hubs and bearings yay right near xmas.
my main seal has only just started to leak, how long generally do i have b4 it starts to root my clutch, and is there a way to not change the seal yet but give me a bit more time?
i hate when shit starts breaking down :(

Can't you do the clutch with the engine in but the box out?chugga wrote:I would try to fix it asap because the engine oil on your clutch will wear out your clutch. It means pulling your engine out.
If its already started to leak, I'd just drive it till it dies and then replace it, and the whole clutch. Saves doing it again in a few months when the clutch wears out
And jimmie, you've got the wrong badge on your 4b if you don't like stuff breaking
