990 Oil Leak


Recommended Posts

I have my first oil leak! I suspect it is service related as I just got my 18k mile service done.

 

Oil looks to becoming pretty high up on the rear cylinder. Valve gasket?

 

I checked my oil and it's still half up the indicator. Im in Utah now and will attempt to ride it home and keep an eye on the oil level.

At the shop with the bike and we suspect a balancer shaft seal went bad. Valve cover gasket is fine, the oil was puking out the air intake. $30 part but $$$ labor. I suspect that the bike sat so long before I bought it ('11 with 3k miles) plus the 18 weeks without a key that it could have gone bad.
