Air in the chaincase is not a problem. No oil in the chaincase is a problemLambretta67 wrote:I would have thought if oil can get out air can get in

As long as you keep it topped up at all times it will be fine, but it’s probably an easy fix if you have a go.Simon lambretta wrote:Hi.i have an oil leak from chain casing.Will it affect the performance of the engine.Its only a small leak.cheers simon

If it's from the gasket face, Darrell Taylor does some lovely thick gaskets that compensate for minor damage and heat distortions really well. They've worked for me a couple of times.

Lambretta Upgrades do really nice gaskets in different thicknesses.
