hi all,

i have just recently got a new engine and after a few miles i noticed quite a bad leak coming from what looks like the bottom of the crankcase, i have looked on the site but im getting mixed revues and been left a little confused as to whether its ok to keep running it of not.

it seems like fuel and oil, it can leave a good pool at times.
just wondered if i need to put a new gasket on.?

of change the needle position in the carb, it ticks over when cold but now after a few weeks when warm it wont tick over.??

thanks

ive just had another look and it seems to be coming from the clutch.i moved the needle up to the second notch as it was on the very bottom one,it seems less leaky on the fuel side, but now its clean oil coming from the bottom of the clutch casing.?

seems abit sluggie tho now on top end, but ticking over ok.?
 
I had a leak once. It was all over the motor and puddling on the ground.

It was the POS petcock that was leaking at the fuel tank and running down the hose and dripping on the engine.

Yeah, sick bike parts again, they have a nice one that doesn't leak.
 
found its leaking oil from behind the clutch. :/

will it be ok to use like this......????

thanks for all the comments. :)

Yeah I bet the carb is leaking and dripping on top of the case. There's no way fuel would be leaking near the clutch, it would have to be under the cylinder.

Look more closely and find the highest wet spot on the motor.

yep,carb leaking but oil coming from back of clutch its self. a bit ****ty too, guess that will be a mix of clutch and oil, but not slipping..
 
If it is a blown clutch side seal you will have to replace it. The oil/gas mix will start filling up the clutch housing and then the clutch will start slipping. It is a DRY clutch, NOT a wet clutch. I just replaced one on a brand new engine so it can happen on a old or new engine.
If It's a gas leak from the carb, check your float & valve. If it's not shutting off at the top float level it will Drip Drip Drip till you have a puddle under your engine.
Good Luck,
