Topic: Strange oil leak... help.

[billdramp]

The bike in question is a 77 750F supersport.

Bought the bike with a seized engine... changed engines with a spare that I had.

Now... it is leaking oil somewhere above the exhause collector. And it is, of course, smoking like crazy, becuase it is dripping like crazy straight onto the exhaust.

I need to fix this. But I cannot really see anything because of the exhaust being hot and in the way.

Anyone have any ideas?

I thought maybe the oil lines... but they seem to be intact, and not dripping, but I could just not see it.

Any trouble shooting help or ideas is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Billy

You might want to take a good look at the seal washer for the oil tank drain plug. It weeps and drips over various parts and the last stop can be the exhaust pipe.
