oil leak

Post by Tappy »

ok i tought i could leave the leak untill after the summer , but after ride the couple days there's about 1litre oil on my garagefloor al the oilreturnrings and gaskets where replaced but probably one of them isn't installed correctly. Considered the size of the leak i suspect an oilreturnring. Thing is the engine is so greasy i cant really see where its comming from

Can someone point me to the usual suspects ?

Tappy,

Clean the engine, then puff talcum powder over the suspect areas, then run the engine and wait and see where the oil leak originates from.
