Hi All,
Just joined the forum and looking forward to learning lots here! I have a 1980 XS650 I picked up earlier this year and it runs pretty good. It does however have a slow oil leak that's leavings its mark wherever i go and is probably getting places it doesn't need to...
It looks like its pooling in a few spots, getting onto the sprocket/chain. I think it may be a gasket that is no longer good. The engine seems to be clean/free of oil above the sparkplug. Any idea's what could be causing this to happen based on the photos?
