Funny Smell

[zimtuff]

I have some slight seepage from the rocker cover gasket on the RH side. I think I only get the smell in summer when the engine gets warmer and the oil gets thinner. So maybe Im getting a faint smell of burning oil.

Yeah, I thought that too.


...... never mind........

Is this common?

Ive heard of few leaking around the valve cover , although I would not say it is in plague proportions.. The stud on the front RH part of the cover was loose when I bought the bike and the oil was seeping through. I tightened it up but the seepage has come back. Its a PITA because you have to buy the big gasket and a little rubber gasket for each of the studs.

All is well. No more smell. Go figure.
