delayed oil drip/leak anyone?
I have done some wrenching to give a bit of backround.. the primary and tranny have just been gone thru as well as the rear jug milled (the original seeper)
Here is the thing I ride do 60-80 miles park here and there maybe one drip of oil (which looks like old seepage stored in the shocks below from that rear jug) I get home park it in the garage no oil leak below wipe it down hours later no oil leak the next day like 20 hours later there is a small amount of motor oil (about a cap full) under the bike.
Strange that is takes so long to drip. Also cleaned the bike and could not locate. I removed one of the old factory hose clamps and trimmed an old oil line that seemed to be seeping as the hose was split a bit and the clamp did not seem snug enough. I thought that was it...residual from old leaks finally falling out of there???
The strange part is the delay way after it has cooled down. I was going to blame the jackshaft seal but since I changed it twice when I was in there (first time was upside down) about 300 miles ago. Not thinking it is that. main seal in tranny done, all of em' thru the inner and outer primary too.
p.s the puddle or capful is right below the oiljug so it seems like old oil stored in my shocks from the original seeper...
