oil leak
oil leak
My Cl-72, with a 305 engine, is leaking oil that spatters on the right ignition cover. Looks like it comes up where the chain guard attaches to the engine. Also drips alot of oil underneath the right cover. Could this be a gasket issue or is this a common problem? This is my first CL-72/77.

Re: oil leak
You will find five seals on that side.

RIDE IT DON'T HIDE IT!
CHECK YOUR ROD
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR CLUTCH PUSH ROD FOR GROVING WHERE IT CONTACTS THE PUSH ROD SEAL. EVEN WITH A NEW SEAL THE GROVE IN THE ROD GOING IN AND OUT WILL QUICKLY WEAR THE NEW SEAL OUT.
