I'm having a bit of trouble locating a recent leak on my '75 550k. It's leaking like 4-5 drips every time it's parked more than 24 hours. I haven't had anything around there loose recently and the last oil change was 2 months ago. Basically, I don't know what triggered this to just happen now.
From what I can see, it's coming off of the bottom of a 14mm bolt (it's on the underside of the motor) between the stator cover and the starter mount/sprocket side cover (as far as a front to back location goes) and under the (rider's) left hand side of the engine right there around the oil drain plug. It's about 5-10 mm higher than the oil drain plug though.
From the head of this bolt it drips onto the frame rail and then on down to the floor. This isn't blowing onto this bolt from anywhere because I wiped it all down and haven't ridden it since then. I retorqued the bolt and it didn't seem to change anything.
SO, Do I have the right bolt or is it tracing down from somewhere else? Thanks for any help.
