Hey all,
Recently I have noticed some oil under the 2010 R3R (Ponters 250hp Lushy @Neville Lush machine),
After some investigation it looks like the oil is escaping from the crankcase breather filter and it’s not just a weep. The last oil change was 2000 KLMS ago and thi has recently started without warning. I am going to make a serge type tank so the oil can’t escape and can drain back into the engine and vented of course. Some pics below. Note this bike does not have the air box fitted any longer so access is very easy.
It’s a bit hard to see the oil as it is still fresh (motul v300). When I ride it it gets a work out - no mistake.
Any input as to what could be going on would be greatly appreciated a thanks in advance
