Topic: Oil leak from points cover

[38rudge]

I have an oil leak from the points cover. Looks to be gearbox oil?

Looking at the parts list there is an oil seal and an o-ring seal. Is either one more prone to failure?

In the case of the oil seal can it be removed without removing the cover and does anybody have the dimensions of the oil seal and the o-ring that are used?

Thanks

Andy

What bike and has it sat for a long period of time?

That oil seal has a ridge around it.  Ideally, you'd want to split the cases to replace it.
Its top right in this picture.

Or the o-ring around the advancer stud if lucky.
