I have oil leaking from my 1998 Ducati 600ss. It's not much in the scheme of things - it takes about 1,000kms for the level to drop from Max to Min.
The culprit (I don't know the technical name for this so bear with me if I get it wrong) is where the drive shaft connected to the front sprocket comes out I think.
To fix this will I need to drain the oil completely, take the sprocket off, take the side of the engine off, replace the seal round the shaft and then put it all back together again?
Or can I take the sprocket off and fix it without taking the side of the engine off?
And should I be doing this or taking it to a professional?
