Oil leak...

[Timbo]

Where the exhaust pipe stud goes into the main casing the thread is exposed a little underneath the casing resulting in the oil leaking. I've not taken the cover off yet but looking for a quick fix and I'm thinking welding is not an option. As I said I'm looking for a quick fix.

I presume you mean the stud that goes through the side case and into the engine case, in which case the gasket should seal the 2 halves together, maybe a cork gasket might seal it for you, also fit the stud with stud lock to lock and seal it in place

[joespeed]

are you talking of a barrel/cylinder stud or the the 8mm thread under the crankcase or the two crankcase side 8mm studs?

[Timbo]

The end of the tail pipe, the longer stud. I can see its thead under the main casing and that's where the oil is leaking from.

jb weld or belzona is a good repair but no substitute for weld

That's lowest point of the engine so not necessarily where the leak is....

[Timbo]

Point taken Mick but I can see the hole and the thread of the stud. Someone has suggested that white plumbers tape so will give that a try.

Thats usually the stud that pulls out,I have a case that has done that.What I've done is remove the side case and helicoil the thread.Its resulted in a permanent and strong repair.

[Timbo]

I've used that plumbers white tape stuff for leaks, will see if it works.

Use some liquid gasket on the stud to seal the hole.
