oil pump leaking ??

<< < (2/2)

florence:
when this happened to mine it was the oil pressure switch.  If you start the engine with the sprocket cover off you may see oil coming from the top of the switch.

Johnwebley:
took the outer casing off,

 cleaned all around the pump and housing,

started the motor a looked,using a mirror to check underneath,

the end plate weeped a little,but the main leak seemed to be from the high pressure feed to the motor,that dripped quite a lot,
so,easy I thought,get my impact driver,remove all the screws,and the pump,fit new "O" rings,NP !!

WRONG !! those damn screws are so tight,I only managed to loosen one,
not wishing to risk damaging the heads,I decided to replace everything,and consult my local bike engineer,
gave him a list of O rings needed,and will get him to strip it down,
