Engine oil leak

<< < (2/2)

Bryanj:
Cant be sprocket seal or chain oil if leak is at front

Hi Ted  The oil on the floor was directly under the mount I thoroughly cleaned the mount area with brake cleaner then left it  a couple of days  The oil leak was back With oil dripping from the mount area Checked around the filter housing but that dry Where the nut for the mount goes The casing looks a bit rough As though someone has had a go at it in the past  So is my number 1 suspect.  Now I know I can remove just the lower crankcase 
its better than a full engine strip.  So engine out ( Happy days ) Just need to find a good local welder around Norwich Any recommendations  I know BadFoot Customs in Yorkshire is brilliant But has a very very long waiting list
thanks for the comments

You could try SEAGER Engineering at Debenham, although they’re usually fully booked up as well!

A bit of bad luck with the casing damage, at least it's fixable,
