One time oil leak?
« on: June 24, 2009, 06:30:48 PM »
So last week I went to test drive my cb550, as I have been trying to tweak the carbs with the unipod/mac4-1 setup.  While I was in my driveway revving the engine, oil started leaking from my left side engine cover at about 1/2 cup per minute.  I shut it off, and hadn't gotten around to looking at it until today(about a week later).  The oil level looks good, and it cranked right up with no oil leaks at all.  Where did this mystery oil come from?
Thanks
