Author Message   Leprikan Posted on Friday, July 22, 2011 - 07:05 am:        I am actually a little scared to ask this question, because I have a bad feeling of the answers I will get. After any amount of riding and then letting my bike sit for at least 30 minutes there is always a small puddle of oil that came out of the exhaust. My fears are that it is either valves that went bad or that my rings are wearing out. Any other thoughts as to why it might be happening   Kilroy Posted on Friday, July 22, 2011 - 08:14 am:        Most likely oil is not coming out of your exhaust after riding. It would burn off and not be in liquid form by the time it makes it to the outlet. Check the underside of the bike - oil may be leaking from elsewhere and dripping around your exhaust outlet. Let us know what you find Kilroy   Cyclonecharlie Posted on Friday, July 22, 2011 - 08:37 am:        Run your hand along the bottom of the clutch side cover, also look behind the starter.   46champ Posted on Friday, July 22, 2011 - 10:59 am:        If your bike doesn't have the stock aircleaner, the crankcase breather may be routed under the bike, or it could be the transmission vent line routed under the bike.   Leprikan Posted on Saturday, July 23, 2011 - 02:58 am:        I will check it out this weekend and see where it from there. Thanks everyone   Jayvee Posted on Saturday, July 23, 2011 - 04:18 pm:        Is it possibly the rear rocker box gasket? When they leak it's usually the last place one would look.   Leprikan Posted on Monday, July 25, 2011 - 10:06 am:        Got a chance to get underneath and saw that there was drips coming from the far side hose. So now I'm not sure exactly where to look from there. Could the tubing be cracked or a loose fitting?   Kilroy Posted on Monday, July 25, 2011 - 10:19 am:        Picture would help - or a better description of the far side hose Kilroy   Leprikan Posted on Wednesday, August 17, 2011 - 03:39 am:        I finally got under the bike to really look. From what I have seen is that the oil looks like it is running down the cooler lines. I am hoping that it will be an easy fix of tightening up some fittings   Mick Posted on Wednesday, August 17, 2011 - 05:53 am:        I had an oil line rub thru where the line goes behind the primary, next to the starter, and down under the bike, was only a pinhole but enough to spew out oil when the bike was hot.   Leprikan Posted on Thursday, August 18, 2011 - 04:18 am:        I checked the fittings and they were good. I think next will be pull the lines and see if I have what Mick had. Just got to wait til next week when I am on vacation
