oil leake sealer

[beto jimenez]

Hello there! i have this tiny oil leak coming out from one of the bottom cylinders side, (it only appears a little while after u finish ur ride n park the bike) and since i dont wanna tear apart the whole engine, im thinkin about buying an oil leake sealer (like the ones from stp or bardal). has anyone used it ? and if so... did it work????

Change out the factory head bolt washers for copper and retorque the head bolts. Check out a related thread here: http://www.xs650.com/forum/showthread.php?t=508

Sealers, generally speaking, are not your friend.

Oh, Welcome to the forum, glad you are here!

If it's a tiny leak then why worry about it. Just wipe the oil off after you ride.
