  • oil leak

    well i got an oil leak on my 2000 750. i think its coming from behind the oil cooler by the engine, i saw what looked to be fresh oil. are these things known for leaking oil anywhere? im guessing its the valve cover, but not 100% sure.

    All engines are known to leak oil... When Something was not assembled/torqued correctly or a gasket is damaged.

        Could be a lot of things, clean it off and find out where the oil is actually coming from.
        90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

          Check the simple things first, any chance it could be the oil filter??
