What do I need to fix my oil leaks?
Oggers:
I have a few Brit bikes, so I have a wealth of experience on oil leaks! Firstly all mating surfaces should be flat, clean and dint free. Secondly, yes, use a new gasket, and third, a smear of Wellseal does not do any harm. Tighten all bolts to the sequence shown, or failing that, diagonally. Do not overtighten.

DO NOT use any gasket compound on any Honda

+1 with Bryan. One day I will collect up all the red, blue, black and white gunge found in our customers engines that have blocked oilways and restrictor jets causing very, very expensive damage when they tried to rebuild the engine before bringing us to repair. I will make something out of it 😁😁(yes, white, where someone used bathroom sealant on their gasket faces 😭😭😭). It not needed, or necessary on these engines. Just Honda Bond or similar on the crank case mating surfaces as they are machined and have no gasket. Even then, it has to be applied so thinly you can hardly see it.
Drew400:
Thank you all again.
This forum has always been a refreshing change from the bleating and moaning on other forums that I have since left!
