CG125 Oil Leak

[mudcow007]

morning all

working on my CG last night, i noticed a quite bad oil leak from behind the genny

im taking the engine out tonight so will be removing the genny at some point to check points etc

any ideas how would could be causing the leak?

im guessing its a crankshaft oil seal?, this is my first bike so im treating it like a huge learning curve

does it sound bad??

[mudcow007]

anyone?

probably worn seal, clean it up, then run the engine and see exactly where oil leak is developing from

It's not coming from near front sprocket or gear leaver does it run down sidestand

thanks all

its definitely leaking from behind the flywheel

does this mean a full strip of the engine??

if i do open the case will it all just fall to bits??

i have the haynes "book of lies" but i haven't yet found where it mentions this seal

hi dude,

you have a manual. but find your bike on cmnsl and see the great exploded views, some pics of your base plate would be good, dont think even egn removal necessery on this bike, seal and large o ring?#

some pic would be good.

If you're going to strip your engine down anyway watch this:

That should be more or less the same as your points engine. Since it's not in English just read along with your Haynes and you will see how simple it is to rebuild.
