Hi Helge, you first need to determine if it's engine oil or transmission
fluid...there are seals in both the engine and trans that could be bad...how
much does it actually leak, a lot of these old Loops seep a little there...

 Greetings fellow guzzisti.

Just joined this forum. I ride a '72 ambo (V7 Special here in europe).
I've been reading this forum for some time, and I have a couple of
questions.

I've got a gear-oil leak for some time, just couldn't see where it was
coming from until now. Laying under the bike I can see a 5mm hole just
at the bottom of the gearbox, see picture here

I can't find that hole mensioned anywhere (guzziology, operating
handbook and parts list). What is it doing there, and why are oil
dripping out that way? Gasket gone somewhere?

Thanks for any reply
Kind regards
