Oil line leak

[LHOPPER]

After a good ride yesterday it looks like i have a leak from the oil line that goes to the bottom of the engine at the fitting that comes from the oil cooler, Can some one tell me what kind of seal or gasket i need to replace.

Thanks,Larry

Sounds like you need to replace the crush washers

Depends on where it's leaking. If it's the connection your probably looking at something simple like an oring or crush washer.

If the it's line that is leaking, then you need to replace the line.

What year/cc bike do you have?

It`s a 1999 750 w/50,000, I was hopping that there`s a crush washer, in there, so i`ll check with the dealer.

order 4 crush washers and replace the washes on both lines. If you are going to be dirty you might as well get really dirty. Very little oil will come out of the lines when you disconnect them but make sure you put something under the lines to catch the oil. Once you are re conected remember to check your oil level before starting up.

another +1.

I had to replace mine after pulling the pan to do the Factory Pro shift kit.
Thought I could get away with re-using the old crush washers... not so much.

They should only be a buck or two at the dealer. You may have to drop the exhaust to get to them though - can't quite remember.

Again, depends on where the leak is. If it's leaking at the bottom where they bolt to the engine you have a 16X22X2 crush washer on either side of the banjo bolt. You can get those from any auto store as well if you wanted to replace them.

If it's the top side at the cooler, it's an oring that needs replaced on the 750 coolers. They use 2 small bolts and an oring setup. The 600s use another banjo bolt and crush washer setup.

There`s the size I need, even if just order them from the dealer. They did say they would be in by Friday, @$1.37 each.
