Oil Leak 1993 XT 600e
Well crap, just did the base gasket, rings etc this weekend.
Thought the oil spewing on my boot was from the base gasket leaking.
The original cylinder o ring was spit on disassembly.
Thought that was it, not the case.
Still spewing oil just like before.
Ideas??
Thanks

Initially just put some JB weld and quicksteel on the right side base of the jug.
Helped for a while then leak got worse.
Replaced the bottom oil line, no go, still leaking.
Hoping it's not a cracked case. Leak seems to be in the front base gasket area again.

Both.
Will look at a schematic to see if a plugged vent line could cause this.
Appreciate any assistance.

ok, if you clean everthing up and put it on idle you still cant see where its coming from?Recomend using a good LED flaslight around where you think leak coming from. Use some mask tape on places you think its coming from and you will see if its correct.

Can you post a picture of what's happening?
I once forgot to put one of the bolts on the LHS engine case and had oil all over the place..
It was one bolt behind the e-starter idle gear (the gear that is behind the little LHS cover) and the oil was coming out from there..

Easy fix dont worry Remember to check breather hose before you change it, can be a result of pressure building up.
