My Gold Flash, which I got last Monday has been marking it's territory, with oil appearing on the floor in three places.
First one I looked at was oil from the flow and return pipe area. Nipping up the connections appear to have solved that one.
The second one is oil running from the top of the timing cover, at the front, which seems to be coming from the joint between
the dynamo and casing. I'm a bit puzzled by this, as I was under the impression that the dynamo chain was greased and not lubricated by an oil feed. From other posts on here, it looks like I'll have to make sure its not coming from the inner casing joint.
The third leak is from the area of the rear of the primary drive cover, although it may be from the gear box, as there is oil in the centre stand spindle area.
The dynamo isn't charging, so having tested it in situ, it was necessary to remove it from the bike which suited me, as I could inspect the cork seal which is where I think / thought the oil was coming from. The seal is in good condition, although it appears to be compressed to the extent that it's debatable whether it stands proud of the dynamo flange. A PO had put a smear of silicone sealant on it. Any clues / guidance gratefully received! Thank you.
