Author Message   Dalurker Posted on Thursday, May 16, 2013 - 12:13 am:        Hello everyone. I am new to this website and I'll start off with some needed help with an oil leak. I have a 2006 XB9SX and it decided to pull a Harley and start leaking oil. I was hoping you guys could help me figure where it's coming from. The oil seems like it is coming from the hole with the wire coming out.

The manual will have you remove the cover, but it can be done without. I did it without removing myself.   Dalurker Posted on Thursday, May 16, 2013 - 01:19 pm:        How did you go about fixing it without removing the cover?   Dalurker Posted on Thursday, May 16, 2013 - 01:37 pm:        I found it, camshaft oil seal. Thanks guys!   Hogs Posted on Thursday, May 16, 2013 - 02:42 pm:        Could ya copy and paste the link here for all to see...Thanks   Dalurker Posted on Thursday, May 16, 2013 - 05:03 pm:        I found it in my service manual. The exploded view is on page 4-96. It says to drill out the pop rivets on the cover, unbolt the cover under that, take out the cam shaft sensor, and the seal looks to be under that. Hopefully that helps.   B00stzx3 Posted on Friday, May 17, 2013 - 10:13 pm:        Get some leak dye from Advanced Auto and a blacklight. Makes finding leak source easy. It's like $7 for a bottle of the dye and you can borrow the light from someone. College kids and stoners always have them
