Oil leak

(1/4) > >>

just got the 250 G5 running smooth not bad for 38 year old. went down the garage and back about a mile or so. when i left it on the side stand for ten mins I notice a little oil weeping from I think the head gasket. I replaced the oil seals on the rear bolt channels but they were not Honda parts, the gasket set came with the bits.



I do not fancy stripping the head and barrels of again. so what l am thinking. book the MOT and ride the 10 miles there and check helpfully it will pass then ride home and re evaluate.

Why not re-check the head bolts torque, sometimes you will find a little tightening if needed will cure it. DO NOT exceed the recommended torque settings though!

billy192:
yes I was searching the USA site and a few had leaks and after checking the head bolts needed re torquing.
hopefully thats all.

i have even bought a new small range torq rench   for the job (i used my 1/2 inc drive first time and i did air on the side of less is more.
