Are you sure it is the rear main seal leaking? Can be coming from a
variety of sources not seal related, i.e., breather tube, or that flange
bolt that goes all the way through to the engine case. In either of the
latter cases, seal swell won't help at all.

Loopers, Rear main on the Eldo is losing a bit of oil, and I can't seem to find the time to pull the bike apart to replace it. A friend suggested adding an ounce of something to the crankcase that swells the seals a bit to stop the leak. Anyone ever try this? Any downside? How much should I add if it's the right thing to do? How much longer would I be able to procrastinate doing the right thing? Thanks much. Alan P. Daytona |
