Shaft drive oil leak

[professore]

Hi

I have an oil leak from the bike of the month from the shaft. I attach a pic. How do I go about repairing this - there seems to be nothing on this part in the Haynes manual ?

Thanks

Bob

Hey professore bob! It is said that one should never assume anything, but I would assume that this is oil leaking from a breather orifice because there is a surplus of oil within. Is it thick gear oil from an overfull shaft/ cardan housing alone, or is it motor oil coming through from the engine/gearbox output bearing seal? If the latter, engine oil level will drop. - good luck.

Hi Rick,

Thanks for that. I think it's the oil seal.
