Went for another ride the other day and AGAIN oil leaking. Sigh.So tonight I borrowed another set of eyes and together with the owner of those eyes, we finally diagnosed the oil leak: it was in fact the crank seal and not the plug. Replaced the seal and tomorrow, if the weather is OK, I’ll go for another test ride. Fingers crossed.B.t.w. The original seal has a lip, which makes removal a bit of a difficult task (without splitting the cases). The replacement seal (out of a complete kit with all the engine seals) comes without a lip. So it slides right in.
