Had the bike running (rough) for about 5 minutes this afternoon. Started about 3rd kick, running very rough and hesitates to take any throttle at all.
But, the engine having been completely oil tight standing for several months leaks as soon as the engine starts. The clutch pushrod, gearbox sprocket, crankshaft, kickstart oil seals are all good. The sump plate gasket is good in any case it's not under any pressure. The two drain plugs are good, new annealed copper washers.
A picture from under the bike shows three dew drops of oil, and a dew drop on the bottom of the right lower frame rail. It seems oil is leaking only under pressure and from several places. But I'm flummoxed where the leak(s) is/are from?
Please see picture below to see what I mean. The chrome acorn nuts were my #1 suspect. But they look good.
Suggestions where to look please? It should be obvious, but it isn't.
