Westbeef Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Do you know what's causing the leak? Could you let the garage fix it and ride it home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six30 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) If it's running out like a tap you must be able to see where it's coming from, have you had oil changed recent .... sump nut not done up or filter ?

Six30 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Where is it? Reckon it's on the engine somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westbeef Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Hasn't lost the plug has it? If it's coming out that fast it's gonna be missing something or have a serious crack in the case. As for getting it home quicker you'll probably have to pay or just be patient and wait until next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldgrump Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Hi, Is it leaking when engine not running, or just when engine running? if it's leaking when engine switched off, probably Sump plug! not torque up right, so loosened of, or over tightened and stripped thread, or if only when engine running look at oil filter, if not the rocker box cover(cam cover) Gasket. But can you ask garage to remove bottom fairing so you can check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Sounds like you've lost the sump plug or oil filter.....or put a hole in one of the crankcase or sump...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
