No overheating problems any more yippeeee!

Where's the leak from?

My casing cracked too, where one of the bottom cylinder studs was.
On the way to elvington the rear mount for the franspeed, the bottom bolt snapped in the casing, also chipping away a small piece of alloy from the inside of the casing oil was leaking out so i decided to head back home rather than carrying on, I wasnt happy.

Fixed it now tho so all is good in the hood
