Another problem - Engine oil leak...

[Vexon101]

I added some engine oil in my nsr today, I didn't see If It need any, just assumed the bike needed some since I've been told It uses It quickly, I'm not sure If I overfilled It since A part of the oil tank Is leaking, I'll show you the part that's leaking.

It's the thing on the very left, next to the oil cap that's leaking slowly, I'm absolutely sure that's where It's coming from.
When I take the lid out oil pours out, not sure If thats supposed to happen so an suggestions?

---- Never mind, I overfilled It according to the service manual.

Do you mean engine oil, or two stroke?

Don't run the bike if you've put "engine oil" in that tank

that cap looks like the warning light sender. It might be missing some part or its rubber seal.

I dont see how you can over fill a 2 stroke tank.

You pour it in, it gets full, you stop pouring, put cap and and ride.

Highligth the bit that's leaking. "The bit on the left" is a abit vague.

Overfill cap? This is a 2 stroke oil tank, not a 4 stroke sump. You can't overfill it, the oil isn't re-used.

The thing on the left looks to be the sender for the low oil light, which should be a grommet, possibly with an O-ring seal. There should be two wires plugged into it, so that it comes on when you're almost out of oil to remind you to fill up.

If its leaking then it needs fixing. Either replace the part, find the right seal, or (more likely to be honest) seal it up with instant gasket. Don't use blue hylomar, it melts if you even look at it.

If you're going to use instant gasket/silicon sealant, make sure the area is totally clean and oil free first. This means taking the part off the bike, draining it, and cleaning any sealing area with a solvent (petrol). Leave it 24 hours to cure before refitting and refilling with oil. If the sender has been disconnected, you'll want to reconnect it and make sure it works before fixing it in place.

Don't just leave a leaking hole. It will leak more when the bike is leaning over, so you might be dripping oil onto a hot engine or getting it flung onto your back tyre. You really don't want to fling oil onto your rear tyre when leant right over.

But when its full.. you know thats enough right?
I ALWAYS filled the 2 stroke tank on my RS and it never leaked... :|[/quote]

The max Is 750ml & I'm sure I've put more than that In.
