Well i just did an oil change,and went for a ride and the bike is leaking from somewhere in front of front sprocket.I cleaned up the mess and started bike- ran for a while and no leak.Then round the block,get back and oil pissing out but i cant find the exact spot its leaking from,
Anyone got any ideas at all.

Hopefully i can have this fixed before the Brass Monkey Rally.

clutch pushrod seal has been mentioned,not sure.

One other thought, is it engine oil, or clutch fluid? On the SV, the clutch slave cylinders leak there too. Check the clutch fluid level and eliminate that.

Bugger all.................a wee bit fiddley to fit...........clean it all down with kero and paintbrush first...........honestly very simple and cheap to do........cant emphasize make sure area is clean enough.......any little bit of grit and it will leak again................
