Oil leak

vegas2033 · Thursday at 4:46 PM

Hello everyone,

I was doing a regular oil change today, removed the bottom fairings and realized that some oil had dripped down on my exhaust pipe. I tried to trace the leak but couldn't find out where it comes from. I wonder if it could come from the vertical head cylinder.

Has anyone encountered anything similar before?

Thanks in advance,
Greg

Possibly from Airbox ?

its your valve cover...remove the plastic cover and youll see it...nothing to stress too much over, just wipe it down after rides...next desmo it will be taken care of...or if you want, remove it and reseal yourself...

Thank you both. That confirms what I suspected. Given that it’s leaking too much oil to my taste and that I’m afraid to get oil on my rear tire, I will replace the gasket (and it’s cheap).

Thanks again

Don't forget some Loctite on the cam cover bolts to help prevent future leaks
