A few weeks later, Oil leaking from pump again. Any Ideas?
« on: August 08, 2014, 05:22:15 AM »
I previously replaced all of the o rings associated with the pump, even the hard to find big one, and everything seemed good. Today, I have a slight drip, which to me looks like oil accumulation under the sprocket cover again. I will pull it apart latar to inspect. I have a big ride on Sunday and now I'm worried.

Make sure it isn't coming from the gearshifter seal before you do anything drastic.

Yes, I replaced that and the main shaft seal as well. It seems as though its the lower oil pump oring.

Ill tell ya, if it wasnt dripping directly on the pipe, I would tighten the bolt a little more and ride it until the winter. Its not a significant leak, just smells like hell...

It's been a while since I was in any of my SOHCs.  Is there anything above that that can leak (oil pressure switch?).  Something tells me I had a leak like that in my 350F that was actually coming down from somewhere else.

Those leaks can be a real pain to track down.

I think I found the culprit.  Something I overlooked before.
