Oil Leak

[Wally]

I seem to have a oil leak that no matter what I do will not stop
I think maybe ouil is coming out the bottom hole of this line Circled Can this be so????

 

[Wally]

Any suggestions at all Please?

It may be seeping from around the bolt hole, pic #2. If there is an irregularity around the bolt, like an old pice of gasket, then a leak can form.

The thing you circled is a blind passage. It should be sealed. If air can get through it, then you need to re-seal the hole at the bottom with JB-Weld.

i have had two different side covers on this bike & had cover of at least five times & have used gasket sealer on gasket but still it leaks
I will seal the hole fit a new gasket with sealer as well & see what happens

Is it something simple such as a forgotten copper washer under the capscrew ?

 

[Wally]

what copper washer under cap screw???

 

[KentMoney]

many of the crankcase bolts on the bottom of the engine have a copper washer/gasket since the oil sits in there...

This digram shows copper washer under the four lowest cap screws. I am sorry I dont recall where it came from.

Thanks gents

My Hondas have little rubber o-rings on the case screws. They work pretty good.

Yup - often people forget those copper washers, and from the closeup pic of your oil drip, I don't see one under that socket cap bolt. Given it's right at the bottom and right beside your oil leak... hope it's as simple as that.
