Help - Oil leak from exhaust ?


Hendo

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys/Girls, can anyone give advice on this. 

My Old Boy and I have just started servicing the 94 750, and as we were flushing the coolant system we’ve noticed that there seems to be a fresh oil leak that has just started on the 3 bolt exhaust  flange at the rear of the motor. 

We originally had a smokey exhaust when we first picked it up, this has stopped. We believed it was either old stale fuel, or a slightly sticky ring. 

The rear spark plugs had a coating of oil while the fronts were clean. 

 

Any advice would be handy on thoughts as to what could be occurring?

If it’s a sticky ring, any way of releasing it?

And if this isn’t the case, what cost am I looking at to get into the motor to fix this ?

 

Thanks Hendo

I'd be looking at the rear cam cover gasket, personally.  That joint is a few inches away from the engine, so I think the bike would have to be absolutely puking oil for that much of it to get to that point via an internal route.

 

Ciao,

I had oil coming out of the exhaust on a VF500C. There was a hole in the piston and busted valves, so oil free to flow out.

That is highly unlike with the VFR750, but I would do a compression test to make sure things are ok.
