Oil leak oil plug left side engine
JezzaPeach:
For those that haven’t seen it, there are some wonderful YouTube videos like “Honda RC166 disassembly work†! (and note the choice of tyres!) 😉

Well, after having removed the plug, checked and cleaned the bore and the plug, and the O-ring multiple times... Not to forget clean my entire garage, floor, ceiling, door and part of the driveway of oil spatter...
I have accepted defeat and used a small smear of "liquid gasket" if that's the right word, on the outer ring of the plug. Let it sit for a night to cure and seems like it's staying dry now. Fingers crossed.

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. :o
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.

Strange, never seen a crank seal without a lip 🤔🤔🤔🤔
