Guest Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 you need to wipe everything down and then look for the source of the leak, could be the breather pipe.. but i'm guessing, Quote
Guest Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 did wipe everything down, we think it may be a very small slow leak in the oil cooler... still confussled tho Quote
fredc Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 If you wipe it all down and dust it with talc the oil leak will show much clearer Quote
chrisgatguis Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 hi, have you taken all the fairings off for a better view?could be coming from top of the engine where the engine cover is? Quote
Guest Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 hi, have you taken all the fairings off for a better view?could be coming from top of the engine where the engine cover is? yeah took it apart ran it on the paddock stands to see if it was a pressure thing, no leak, ordered a new oil cooler anyways, because the temp was a little high, but pressure was fine, so found one cheap should be here soon, see if that fixes the problem....
