Oil bloody oil

(1/4) > >>

billy192:
I have done about 2K on the K6 without any problems but now after a run (about 50-60) miles i get spots of oil on the finn below the head gasket but it has not run from there. it seems to have been blown i think and its on both sides

i use a quarter of a pint of oil in 150 miles.

where is this coming from?
does this mean my head gasket is shot?

This may sound dopey but to lose a quart of a pint that dont look much to me.One thing I have found with the 750 is when doing oil change you can over fill as well as under fill.You have to go for a bloody good ride to get a true level.Billy with that much splash Could it be fork oil?To me just dont look enough.Mine dishes out not always just a dribble between 2 and 3 clyinders but no notice on the level stick.F ING annoying and trust me I have given up.

Mine had a few drops appear in the same place and iv only just found were it was coming from now it has smothered my right boot after a long blast at 90. Weirdly it was coming from one valve cap.

Does not look like a gasket problem. Have you re-built the engine 2k miles ago? Mick is on the right line with this but, quarter of a pint is a little too much. Any oily parts round the down pipes or burning any oil?

Agreed F ing weird but your not alone
